engineDecelerationSpeed not taken into account at PVG orbit insertions

Maneuvers, planned and executed by MechJeb, are capacle of throttling down soon enough to avoid an overburn because of the engineDecelerationSpeed.


At the end of a PVG ascent - with or without coasting - the burn stops "on point" but ignores the engineDecelerationSpeed which results in an overburn.

At the end the perispasis is nearly perfect, but the apoapsis is way too high.
The amount of error depends of the engineDecelerationSpeed, so the time the engine needs to spool down.

i recommend not using that setting

Well, some engines just got it.

I am not interested in fixing that.
