Add back-to-planet navigation from moons to host planet
Enhanced moon navigation to allow easy return to the host planet's details.
Previously, moon navigation only had "leave_jupiter" which took you to the
final navigation menu. Now you can also go back to see the planet itself.

New Navigation Pattern (implemented for Jupiter's moons):

From any moon, you can now:
1. **Jump to other moons** - "Europa", "Ganymede", etc.
2. **Return to moon menu** - "moon menu" shows all moon options
3. **Back to planet** - "Jupiter" or "back to Jupiter" returns to planet details
4. **Leave entirely** - "leave Jupiter" goes to planet-to-planet navigation

Example Navigation Flow:
- Visit Jupiter → See planet details
- Choose "Io" → See Io's volcanoes
- Say "back to Jupiter" → Return to Jupiter's details (storms, bands, etc.)
- Say "Europa" → Jump directly to Europa
- Say "leave Jupiter" → Continue to Saturn

Updated Navigation Steps:
- moon_io_nav: Added back_to_planet → jupiter:jupiter_details
- moon_europa_nav: Added back_to_planet → jupiter:jupiter_details
- moon_ganymede_nav: Added back_to_planet → jupiter:jupiter_details
- moon_callisto_nav: Added back_to_planet → jupiter:jupiter_details
- jupiter_other_moons_nav: Added back_to_planet → jupiter:jupiter_details

This same pattern can be extended to Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune moons,
allowing seamless navigation: Moon → Moon, Moon → Planet, Planet → Planet.
