🌀 Dynamic Gyroscope Precession - 2D Side View, Axle-Tip Path and Nutation Graphs

2D companion: a heavy symmetric top integrated from the Lagrange equations (RK4) with side view, top-down axle-tip path, nutation and precession-rate graphs, and checks against the fast-top formula and the sleeping-top condition.
