#103 Barycenter not included in URL Path

Symptom:

After recording the URL of a planet that orbits a Barycenter, the planet is not Selected or Followed when the URL is selected. As a result, the planet flys off screen instead of staying centered.

Problem:

The planet's full path is not included in the URL. If a planet is orbiting a Barycenter, the Barycenter's name is not included.

When I manually add the Barycenter to the URL, then it works.

    I committed a fix for this bug, but I don't think that the description is quite correct. It's true that planets orbiting barycenters did not get assigned a correct URL, but neither did any object directly orbiting a star. However, moons (which orbit a planet that in turn orbits a star) were just fine. My fix should make cel URLs work correctly for any solar system body or location.
