[Proj] triaxial ellipsoid

[Aleksander Yanovskiy]

Probably my description was unclear (or wrong?). I just want to add to Y[2,2]  geoid approximation (triaxial ellipsoid) one extra term (3,0) so that the result would be triaxial + pear shaped Earth figure (and then to calculate it's principal axes orientation).
