Settable collision check rate

[Mark2000]

Description

Allows for collisions to be checked for at a different rate than the sim. Helpful if you know motion is slow relative to the sim rate.

Also uses the new basilisk stop condition for better behavior.

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces configurable collision checking rates and updates stop condition behavior in Basilisk simulations. The key improvement allows collision detection to run at a different frequency than the main simulation rate, which is beneficial when spacecraft motion is slow relative to the simulation timestep.

Key changes:

• Added conjunction_check_rate parameter to setup_conjunctions() with optional configuration
• Updated ConfigureStopTime calls to use StopCondition=">=" for more reliable stop behavior
• Set exactRateMatch=False for conjunction events to allow flexible timing

Looks good to me.

One thing thought is that I dont see where you are using the exactRateMatch flag yet... or is this something you plan on further implementing later?

Helpful new feature!
