Sameh Khamis 8ae56587c3 fix(satellites): a SATCAT failure no longer stops TLE refreshes
Both CelesTrak routes shared one cooldown, and any failure set it: one bad
SATCAT answer made /api/celestrak return 502 "cooling down" for a minute,
failing the Starlink load and stalling every TLE group past its cache.
Throttling (403/429) still holds both routes off, since CelesTrak throttles
the client; any other failure holds off only the route that failed.

/**
* CelesTrak GP/TLE proxy with a memory + disk cache.
* Upstream: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=<group>&FORMAT=tle
* CelesTrak asks clients not to re-fetch GP data more than ~every 2 h and
* throttles offenders; every dev reload used to refetch every group. Cache TTL
* 6 h; on upstream failure the freshest stale copy is served (a stale TLE
* beats an empty satellites layer). Pattern mirrors openSkyProxy's
* cache+serve-stale. Adapted from skylight's TleStore (MIT).
*
* The same plugin serves CelesTrak SATCAT records for the satellites layer's
* groups at `/api/celestrak-satcat/<group>` (object type, operational status
* and owner, which file each object under a class). The catalog changes
* slowly, so SATCAT is cached for a day. CelesTrak throttles the client, not
* the endpoint, so a 403 or 429 holds both routes off; any other failure
* holds off only the route that failed, so a bad SATCAT answer never stops
* TLE refreshes.
