Add planetary projections

In Planetary Sciences, the data are usually represented with 8 types of projections.

Name Image Global view Type Property
Equirectangular yes Cylindrical Equidistant
Mollweide yes Pseudo-cylindrical Equal-area
Sinusoidal yes Pseudo-cylindrical Equal-area / Equidistant
Stereographic yes / no Azimuthal Conformal
Lambert azimuthal yes / no Azimuthal Equi-area
Azimuthal equidistant yes / no Azimuthal Equidistant
Orthographic no Azimuthal Perspective
Vertical perspective no Azimuthal Perspective

Currently only the equirectangular centered at 180掳 is supported.

Implementation for the other projection can be achieved by extending the GroundProjection object.
