[KIDS] INTDR2 catalog ingestion

Hi Nicola et al.,

This night I've done a first ingestion of all the 52 catalogs made with 
KIDSCAT beta v1.0. They can be found by querying for SourceLists with 
the name "INTDR2test_*", like:
   awe> slsintdr2 = SourceList.name.like("INTDR2test_*")
   awe> len(slsintdr2)
   52
Or through the dbviewer:
   http://socuteurl.com/funnytumble

They have 'test' in the name because they are simply a conversion from 
the .cat files to AW SourceLists. No thorough assessment of the catalogs 
are done yet. However, they seem okay, and we will start using them here.

What has not yet been done:
- Ingesting the sexconf/sexparams (first thing to do)
- Ingestion of the masks (the weights used are from AW right?)
- Ingestion of the intermediate catalogs
- Ingestion(/recreation) of QC plots

What happened to the columns:
- FLUX_APER and FLUXERR_APER are renamed to FLUX_APER_<aperturesize>
   and FLUXERR_APER_<aperturesize>. So FLUX_APER_10 is the flux in a
   10 arcsecond aperture.
- The VIGNET columns have been removed.
- Some columns are renamed according to the FITSCOLUMN_NAMES dictionary
   in SourceList.py:
 
http://www.astro-wise.org/viewvc/awe/astro/main/SourceList.py?annotate=1.228#l2788
- The HTM column is added.

I will improve the catalog ingestion, starting with the sexconf, since 
this will improve the data lineage and reproducebility. If there is 
anything wrong, unclear or missing, please notify me!

Greetings,
Hugo

P.S. I moved this discussion to kids at astro-wise.org, that way everyone 
gets them. Contact Gijs if you're not on this list yet.
