Workspace Method sensor_pos_losForwardToAltitude

Description

Moves sensor_pos and sensor_los forward to the target altitude.

The method gives the sensor_pos and sensor_los at the target altitude
when forward-propagating the original sensor_pos and sensor_los
geometrically.

The WSM IntersectionGeometricalWithAltitude performs the same operation
but allows to store the new pos and los as other variables. There is
also rte_pos_losForwardToAltitude.
