Share one antimeridian-safe distance and move the changelog entry

The flights records and the mesh-floor sampler kept identical copies of the equirectangular distance; both now import src/data/approxDistance.js. The changelog entry moves to changelog.d (#787), and CURRENT-STATE notes the antimeridian behaviour.

- Flights' ground floor works across the antimeridian. The viewer-distance
check behind the 150 km floor radius and its copy in the photoreal mesh-floor
sampler subtracted longitudes without wrapping, so two points 21 km apart
across 180° measured about 38,000 km and low or grounded aircraft just across
the line from the viewer were never floored. A contact's display corridor
walked a segment across 180° the long way round, spending its cell budget on
ground behind the contact, and a contact on the seam lost its cell hysteresis.
SEARCH NEARBY SITES on a view across 180° searched Google Places around
longitude 0, on the far side of the globe, with a radius sized from the view's
height alone; it now searches the view (Aditya, @Rohilalala, #1173).
