[Proj] Geocentric vs. Geodetic latitude

[Gerald Evenden]

Search for the string 'geoc' in pj_fwd.c and pj_inv.c.  P->geoc is the
flag causing geocentric conversion.  Conversion follows the 'if'
statement.

I agree that geocentric is most likely a satellite data parameter and
since I have not normally be involved with such data I have not
had much contact with geocentric latitude.

+geoc has been in proj.4 since Hector was a pup and I cannot remember
what prompted me to include it.  Must have sounded like a good idea
at the time.
