Dasha systems index

Every dasha system we compute, with its cycle length and the endpoint that serves it. Thirty of them — eleven nakshatra dashas that run on planets, nineteen rashi dashas that run on signs. This endpoint exists because there is otherwise no way to discover them: they are values of a string field, so they appear in no route list and no search. `conditional` marks the nakshatra dashas the classical texts apply only when a particular condition holds in the chart. /api/astro/dasha_applicability/ tests those conditions for a given chart, so you can find out which readings are admissible before you show one.
