Add QUEST attitude determination algorithm #1040

@GorgiAstro

Description

@GorgiAstro

Describe your use case
QUEST is a classical static attitude determination method from vector measurements. It would be nice to have it in Basilisk.

Motivation: at TU Berlin we previously had this module (and more modules) in our own repository and built it into Basilisk as external modules, but in some student projects we would prefer to have the students use "vanilla" Basilisk from wheels so that they don't have to build basilisk themselves. But if there is no interest in having QUEST integrated into Basilisk, which I can understand, we will keep it in our own repository as explore building our own basilisk wheels (and publishing them to our Gitlab instance) including our external modules.

Describe alternatives solutions you've considered
N/A

Additional context
If using magnetic field and Sun vectors as inputs (which is usually the case for LEO satellites), this requires first having a fine Sun sensor model and message types for Sun vectors, see the following feature request: #1039
