Refactor the image-level meta data in WorkUnit #739

Hah, funny, sorry to double dip but I believe these two PRs might be related: #738 If we're already collating into BinTables from Headers - de-duplicating things like time stamps, per-image WCS et. al. via imagecollection HDU could be helpful here. |
I agree that there is more cleanup we can do, especially with de-duplicating things. I was didn't want to make any changes to the serialized data in this PR though, since I don't want to introduce any incompatibilities with WorkUnits currently living on disk. I think we can do that in a future round. I would need to talk through how to use the imagecollection HDU correctly. |
As a step toward adding more provenance data in the workflow (specifically traveling through the
WorkUnit), I regrouped a bunch of the data about constituent images into a single astropy Table. I think this makes it a little easier to track and reason about, but I could also make a case that this adds unneeded complexity. So let me know if you think this is worth it.
