Add test_hybrid_impulse_burns for burn handling validation

- Tests Hohmann transfers (2 burns: apogee raise + circularization) - Tests plane changes at nodes with normal burns - Tests impulsive burns at periapsis and apoapsis - Tests minimal burns (Δv < 1 m/s) for numerical precision - Tests large burns (Δv > orbital velocity) for hyperbolic orbits - Validates energy conservation during burns - Validates round-trip conversion with burns - Validates multiple burn sequences - Critical for analytical propagation switch: validates burn handling workflow
