feat: add SunTimes calculator using NOAA algorithm with test-driven approach

- Implements NOAA solar position algorithm for accurate sunrise/sunset calculation
- Uses UTC-based calculations with proper timezone conversion
- Includes comprehensive test cases covering spring equinox and polar regions
- Handles edge cases like sun always up/down in polar regions gracefully
- Tests validate accuracy within realistic tolerances for different latitudes
