Automatic landing assistance (v0.2.0)

After hundreds of ships destroyed on landing, our insurance company finally decided it was time to invest in some safety systems.

Introducing the automated landing assistance: as you descend towards the surface, the ship continuously computes the last possible moment when the engine, at maximum power, could still save your ship (the "suicide burn"). And automatically activates it when it can save you.

You still need to control the ship's orientation!

Hopefully we can negotiate some lower insurance premiums after this.
