Reentry has been patched to 0.99.53 - hot fixes related to CSM entry


This patch mainly corrects issues related to Apollo Command Module atmospheric entry. The previous patch had an issue that inverted the lift-vector during entry, making it very hard to survive even the Academy lesson.

I have also re-worked the Apollo Deorbit, Entry & Landing Academy lesson. It now covers more of the main steps needed for Deorbit and Entry planning. I will continue to iterate on it with more instructions on how to manually fly (I have a video about this). I am also in the process of creating a video tutorial of the lesson.
Next I will add a practice-lesson where you can try to perform an entry using the Checklists (it will be similar to the lesson but use checklists instead), and a Lunar Entry lesson (slightly different procedures).

Note: Unfortunately my family and myself got some kind of virus and all having high fever, causing a delay in fixing things. Updates and response will be slow.

Patch notes:
- Reworked the Apollo Command Module Entry lesson
- Command Module inverted RSI fix
- Fixed an issue with the 0.05G switch preventing the EMS 0.05g light to illuminate
- Fixed the inverted lift direction during CSM entry introduced in the last patch
- More fixes to the command module roll and roll index logic
- Continued to iterate on the CSM/CM auto-maneuver logic
- Reported Typos and minor corrections to AOH checklists
- Minor: Fixed CM entry angle symbol that rendered in the Maneuver Planner UI
- Maneuver Planner: Changed so the estimated "Time to EI" becomes "Time of EI" (MET)
- Maneuver Planner: Added the CM/SM time stamp (MET)
- Additional testing related to a Saturn IB -> SIVB ignition issue (rare), reverted the previous fix
