Improve and expand equinoctial elements handling

See original GitHub issue

🐞 Problem

poliastro supports equinoctial elements, but test coverage is low and some conversions are not implemented.

🎯 Goal

Improve equinoctial element handling and showcase its advantages (no singularities, etc).

💡 Possible solutions

GMAT raises a singularity exception when the inclination of the orbit is 180, as the h and k elements are singular for that inclination value. Therefore, as suggested by @Yash-10, we should raise an exception in the TODO line, see:

@jorgepiloto saw that at least the latest GMAT version ships with Modified Equinoctial Elements, so perhaps now we can validate them!
