Any Solar System Object in the field?

Fred DJN requested to merge FRed_Shift/siril:sso_at_ps into master

This MR shows a feature allowing a "Who is in the field" request (Skybot server from IMCCE).

This request can be disabled in the Plate Solve window because it needs Inernet connection while Plate Solving can also be performed offline.

The result is a list of objects (if any) present in the field of the actual image.

The found objects with magnitude <20.0 are added to a temporary catalogue file (named "user-temp.txt) and located in the appropriate folder.

At the same time, these objects are displayed in red in the actual image view.

This catalogue (and so the display) is a short life item: it is created at PS time, and purged at next PS window openning.

It is created with the command line solsys, and purged while toggling the "Annotate" button

Once the objects are displayed, one can add them (one by one..) in the user-SSO catalogue (which is permanent until manually purged) by using the Search function and the displayed name.

The items of this catologue are displayed in yellow.

Shorter will be a quick video..
