The preset satellite component does not provide satellite orbital position/velocity

This is problematic as it means that, e.g. hotHaloRamPressureForceOrbitalPosition can not work with this component as it requires the instantaneous position and velocity of a satellite.

A solution would be to make the preset satellite component simply (and, perhaps, optionally) compute position and velocity from the positions of the node and its host. In the typical application of the preset satellite component - N-body merger trees - we likely also have preset positions, so this would be possible.

To make this most useful, the preset position component should then interpolate positions/velocities between timesteps. This could be done using the nodeOperatorPositionInterpolated class.
