Bug Description

Request from the forum https://sourceforge.net/p/stellarium/discussion/278769/thread/aa7540c7/?limit=25

V0.15 has distances to galaxies in Mpc only. We should add light-year based distance as well.

Yes, I just wanted to commit.

However I see there are other issues: Some PN distances are wrong: C2/NGC40 has 3.3ly, others are OK. Shall I commit and let you fix the PN stuff? (This is in fact a (new) bug.)

Committed in r8787.

The list of MPc objects includes NebISM, I am unsure if this is correct?
AW please do further improvements.
