quick-and-dirty HORIZONTAL_COORD patch

When an INDI device sends a setNumberVector command with name="HORIZONTAL_COORD", the crosshair is shown at an unreasonable location: not the location specified by the device, sometimes not even on the celestial sphere!

A small patch is attached.  This is a quick-and-dirty patch, written by someone who hasn't read any kstars developer documentation, so don't trust it blindly; it may introduce other bugs.  It does, however, make kstars's behavior _seem_ much more reasonable, in the simple ad-hoc tests that I've tried.

P.S. I tried to exercise good bug report etiquette, by reporting against the current development version instead of an old Debian version.  But I found that the current build instructions don't work, so I went back to the Debian version.

The page

https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars_KF5

says to run the command

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libeigen3-dev libcfitsio-dev zlib1g-dev libindi-dev extra-cmake-modules libkf5plotting-dev libqt5svg5-dev libkf5iconthemes-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev kio-dev libkf5init-dev kinit-dev libkf5newstuff-dev kdoctools-dev libkf5notifications-dev

, which fails on "libkf5init-dev".  Here is packages.debian.org's response to a search for libkf5init-dev:

You have searched for packages that names contain libkf5init-dev in all suites, all sections, and all architectures.

Sorry, your search gave no results
