feat(calendars): Add Lunar Coordinate Time (TCL) plugin v2.5.2.180

Add new scientific calendar plugin lunar_tcl.py implementing the LTE440
Lunar Time Ephemeris for relativistic time between Earth and Moon.

Note: This is separate from the existing lunar_time.py (ESA LTC).

Features:

  • Actual TCL clock time display (14:30:45 TCL)
  • Shows what time a clock on the Moon would display
  • Daily drift ~56.7 µs/day (Moon clock runs faster)
  • Multiple display formats: Time, DateTime, Time+Drift, Drift only
  • 13 periodic variations (annual ~1.65ms, monthly ~126µs)
  • Full 12-language translation support
  • Fixed config_flow dropdown labels with emojis

Updated ESA Lunar Time (lunar_time.py):

  • Config options now show emoji labels for landing sites
  • Improved dropdown descriptions

Based on:

  • Paper: Lu, Yang & Xie (2025) A&A 704, A76
  • DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202557345
  • Data: JPL DE440 ephemeris

Implements IAU 2024 Resolution II (LCRS/TCL standard)
