Description
It has been discussed by others that it would be a nice feature to provide pluggable solvers for Keplerian orbits. I think this is easily achievable by defining a kepler_solver function which uses a KeplerianSolver type hierarchy along with a global default. I think this would be a good opportunity to drop the dependence on AstroLib.jl and move the relevant code into this package.

Research direction
Start by locating the current Keplerian solver and the relevant AstroLib usage, then assess how a kepler_solver entry point and KeplerianSolver hierarchy would fit the package. Done means solvers can be selected through the proposed interface, a global default is supported, and the relevant AstroLib dependency is removed.
