Panchashalaka vedha lookup

A single-nakshatra lookup into the Panchashalaka chakra. Given a nakshatra it returns the one nakshatra that faces it across the diagram — the pairing muhurta practice treats as an obstruction, so that a malefic occupying the partner afflicts any moment falling in your nakshatra. Pass `nakshatra` as a query parameter, using the spellings from the chakra endpoint's `vedha_map` (Ashwini, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Ashadha, and so on; Abhijit is included). The response is `{nakshatra, edge, vedha_nakshatra}` — the name you asked for, which of the four sides it sits on, and its single partner. An unrecognised name is rejected with a 400. The relationship is symmetric and never changes, so for more than a handful of lookups fetch the full map once from `/api/astro/panchashalaka_chakra/` instead.
