NR UE: introduce orbit propagation to improve N_UE_TA_adj accuracy

Instead of trying to estimate N_UE_TA_adj with a second degree polynomial,
we introduce orbit propagation to calculate N_UE_TA_adj with higher accuracy.

When we receive the satellite ephemeris data consisting of the satellite position vector
and the satellite velocity vector, we calculate parameters for orbit propagation, assuming
a circular orbit in the plane created by the satellite position vector and the satellite
velocity vector. This is done in the function prepare_ue_sat_ta().

Every millisecond, we use these parameters together with the time since epoch to calculate
the satellite position on that orbit and from this the reound-trip-time between UE and the
satellite, what corresponds to N_UE_TA_adj. This is done in the function apply_ntn_timing_advance().
