More pre-defined visuals for the observer.

Actually the front and rear views are implemented. More views should be useful.

Description:

In the current implementation of Celestia the observer has one main camera, the frontal one that gives to the user the standard front view.

It is possible to flip this camera and give to the user a rear view ([*] numpad key).

So is requested to provide the observer with 6 fixed predefined cameras freely selectable by the user that will give 6 different views:

• front;

• rear;

• left;

• right;

• top;

• bottom.

An explaining text with the current view name should be displayed in one corner of the screen.

In this scenario, using the multiview feature (and the multiview schemes see FR26), should be useful to link the views, so moving the observer in one view, all the other linked views are updated accordingly. In other words the linked views will refer all to the same observer, but will show the view obtained by different observer cameras.
