Extend config format to support both circular and eccentric orbits using
eccentricity and semi-major axis parameters. All bodies now use the same
format: e=0 for circular orbits, e>0 for eccentric orbits.
Velocity calculation uses vis-viva equation for all cases. Add example
comet with highly eccentric orbit (e=0.7) to test configuration.
