Mock.PolarParser. Fixed a bug where it would only parse the first half of each row.

Mock.Polars. addEstimate also builds up a unique list of angles from the data file, instead of dynamically generating that when calculating a VMG.
addEstimate also adds estimates with negative angles (e.g., 45deg+windSpeed+boatSpeed, and -45deg+windSpeed+boatSpeed).
calculateVMG now accepts an upper and lower bounds to the allowed VMG bearing it returns - this way you can get VMGs only within a certain angle interval (e.g., [16, 99] degrees).
Also fixed some bugs in calculateVMG where it wasn't actually using the angles and such correctly.
Improved the test case slightly, but still need to calculate correct values by hand.
