2022.4

[javierggt]

ska3-flight 2022.4

This PR includes:

• An update to the kadi Chandra Commands Archive V2 to include the star catalog command times (useful as a star catalog reference time).  Work on this update also resulted in a new system of caching for star catalog data.
• An update to xija to support earthshine for future ACIS FP models.
• An update to parse_cm to support writing "backstop" lines to a file-like object.  This small change will be an interface help for ORViewer integration.
• Minor bugfixes and doc and testing improvements.

Interface Impacts:

• The update to kadi commands does change the star catalog command date to be the new "reference" date for star catalogs. The commands archive files (cmds2.h5, cmds2.pkl) will be updated as part of promotion and will be sync'd by users following the usual sync process.

Testing:

• 2022.4rc1-HEAD. Ska.tdb shows a failure due to a deprecation warning. This is harmless.
• 2022.4rc1-GRETA. Ska.quatutil test failed because it requires access to Github, which is not enabled from GRETA. This test should have been skipped in this case.

Review

All operations critical or impacting PR's are independently and carefully reviewed. For other PR's the level of detail for review is calibrated to operations criticality. Some PR's that are confined to aspect-team-specific processing may have little to no independent review.

Deployment

ska3-flight 2022.4 will be promoted to flight conda channel and installed on HEAD and GRETA Linux upon approval of FSDS Jira ticket.
