Saptashalaka vedha lookup

A single-nakshatra lookup into the Saptashalaka chakra. Given a nakshatra it returns the three others that pierce it: `front`, the one directly opposite on the diagram, and `diagonal_right` and `diagonal_left`, the two reached across the corners. In muhurta practice a malefic in any of the three afflicts a moment falling in your nakshatra. Pass `nakshatra` as a query parameter using the spellings the chakra endpoint returns; Abhijit is included. The optional `type` parameter takes a comma-separated subset of `front`, `diagonal_right` and `diagonal_left` — omit it to get all three. The response is `{nakshatra, vedha}`, where `vedha` holds only the types you asked for. An unrecognised nakshatra is rejected with a 400. The relationships never change, so for more than a few lookups fetch the full map once from `/api/astro/saptashalaka_chakra/`.
