Purpose: Called on a schedule to perform EOM integration
Notes:   [JB] Run in standalone mode, SeaLevelRadius will be reference radius.
         In FGFS, SeaLevelRadius is stuffed from FGJSBSim in JSBSim.cxx each pass.
 
At the top of this Run() function, see several "shortcuts" (or, aliases) being
set up for use later, rather than using the longer class->function() notation.
 
This propagation is done using the current state values
and current derivatives. Based on these values we compute an approximation to the
state values for (now + dt).
 
In the code below, variables named beginning with a small "v" refer to a
a column vector, variables named beginning with a "T" refer to a transformation
matrix. ECEF refers to Earth Centered Earth Fixed. ECI refers to Earth Centered
Inertial.
