Manual Construction of Target Orbits #2232

Description

@lamont-granquist

In the Target Info dropdown there should be a way to manually enter Keplerian elements and set a target to an arbitrary orbit and push that orbit into the target controller.

And there should be a way to clone the elements of a target, and then edit e.g. the true anomaly.

This would allow easier construction of satellite constellations. It would also allow e.g. targeting L4/L5 points of planets for an interplanetary transfer. Buttons for Geostationary/Geosynchronous presets could also be added as a bit of a stretch goal.
