Add Ellipsoid.normal_gravitation() method #163

@MarkWieczorek

Description

@MarkWieczorek

The Sphere class has the option of computing either the normal gravity or normal gravitation. In contrast, the Ellipsoid class only gives the option to compute the normal gravity. I propose that we allow the computation of the normal gravitation of an ellipsoid by creating the method Ellipsoid.normal_gravitation. This would help make the two classes consistent. Furthermore, there are cases (such as when you are not attached to the Earth) when the normal gravitation would be more appropriate.
