The orbit analysis window provides long-term information about the current trajectory when it is periodic.

Knowing the properties of the next apoapsis and periapsis serves a different purpose, e.g., to quote @lpgagnon on discord,

<@lpgagnon> I want to know how close to the atmo I'm going to get in my flyby. I want to know how high I'll be before I start falling down during ascent. etc.

Note that we provide this information in map view already, in the map nodes.
In stock + MechJeb or KER, long-term and upcoming apsides are the same, so this information is available outside map view in the orbit info display.

<@lpgagnon> As @Kenira said, this is info we already get in map view; having it without having to switch is what this feature request boils down to

Since this information is already communicated to the C# side to populate the map nodes, this should only require a C# change.
