indexed fits reader and angle unit conversion for LSST refcat style catalogs #606

Description

@psferguson

I am converting an lsst style refcat to hats format.
The lsst style is 131_073 htm7 shards in fits format.
Additionally the coord_ra/dec columns are in radians not degrees

I managed to get something working, but I ran into dask issues when I tried to make my own reader to do the unit conversion.

I imagine it could be useful to specify the ra/dec column units, and an indexed reader for fits (like parquet/csv) would be nice.
