Add DITIB (Diyanet Germany) as a Calculation Method

The app currently shifts Dhuhr and Asr incorrectly for users following DITIB (Diyanet Germany). This is important because while not everyone in Germany follows DITIB, those who do rely on its gradual seasonal adjustments for accurate prayer times. DITIB follows the Diyanet Türkiye calculation method but applies specific shifts on different dates based on actual solar movements. However, the Pillars app currently applies a fixed shift too early, causing the times to be off for DITIB users. Could you add an official DITIB (Diyanet Germany) calculation method or introduce an option to apply time shifts on specific dates instead of a fixed offset?

For reference, here are the official DITIB prayer times for Bochum:

This also applies to users who follow the IGMG prayer timetable, as IGMG and Diyanet use the same prayer times in Germany. Their prayer timetables are among the most widely followed in Germany.

It would be a great improvement to have a dedicated Diyanet/IGMG calculation method in Pillars, allowing Muslims in Germany to use the app with accurate prayer times.
