ENH: Add the Coriolis Acceleration #796

Description

@kevin-alcaniz

I noticed that RocketPy currently doesn’t account for Coriolis effects in its equations.

I made a few local modifications to include this behavior and found that, for a rocket with a 3 km apogee, the deviation at the impact point is less than 10 meters.

Since these changes were minimal, I thought you might be interested in checking them out.

Let me know if you're interested!
