Title: Added methods to calculate greenwich and local sidereal time.

This commit improves the functionality of TTimeStamp class by adding 4 methods to calculate Greenwich/local mean/apparent sidereal time. Calculation was referenced from

Aoki et. al. Astron. Astrophys. 105, 359-362 (1982), http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1982A%26A...105..359A

and
