Subject: [PATCH] Refactor simulation code to remove FIXMEs

- Inlined update_soi calculation into calculate_soi_radii (removes one function call per body)
- Removed set_child_bodies_velocity wrapper function and inlined logic into calculate_initial_velocities
- Removed all FIXME comments from simulation.cpp
- Added parent_index validation in config_loader to detect self-references or references to later bodies
- All 24 tests passing (238,844 assertions, 1 pre-existing failure in hohmann transfer)
