(I've built this upon #49, so you might want to look at this one later)
ASSIST_BODY. The idea is to use this consistently throughout the code so that we don't need to refer to the sun as 0 or to the earth as 3, which is a bit hard to read. For example, the order in which direct forces are calculated is much easier to understand now (see here). These constants belong to ASSIST and not the ephemeris file. So if the ephemeris file changes, we can update the mapping, but don't need to change any constants in random places in the code._jpl_stojpl_sand variables of that type frompltojpl. They are only used internally, but it was a bit inconsistent compared to the structspk_s.assist_spk_calc, so I've commented it out. The code is still there if we ever need the asteroid velocities.
