Result<T, E> overhaul.

Background:

• The main use-case of Result<T, E> is to serve as return of a function that can either have a successful result of
  type T or an error of type E.
• In pretty much all cases the error is just a string, i.e. the common use is Result<T, string>

Changes:

• For simplification the type parameter for the error case is dropped, i.e. a result is just Result<T>
  • The old notation Result<T, E> (or rather Result<T, string>) will still work, but the second parameter is ignored
• The result.error field is now a newly introduced core::error::Error
  • For compatibility core::error::Error will be automatically converted to a string
  • Just like before an error Result can be created using the builtin Err function with an error message
• In addition to the error message the core::error::Error additional contains a stack_trace to help locating
  where the Error was created
• As an additional helper there this a core::error::current_stack() function to obtain the current stack trace for
  debugging purposes.

Support for script based logs:

• Add MAIN_LOG and open_log_file(string) to ksp::debug
  • Log files will be cared ein logs sub-folder of to2Local

General improvements:

• Add vessel.has_launched, vessel.launch_time and vessel.time_since_launch (the latter should be the mission time)
• Fix issue in std::control::sterring not working for "poorly" oriented command modules
• Basic support for aerodynamic drag and lift-forces:
  • Add part.lifting_surface and part.dard
  • Add drag, lift and body lift properties to ModuleLiftingSurface, ModuleDrag and ModuleControlSurface
