The MICADO slit selection is moved to MICADO.yaml in the form of a SlitWheel:

  • Makes it easier to introduce new slits (shifted slits, pinhole slits)
  • Enables through-slit imaging.

A new mode SPEC is introduced, which replaces all current spectroscopic modes. The old modes SPEC_15000x20 etc. still exist and should work as before with default settings as indicated by their name.

FITS keywords are not yet updated when the slit is changed.

Closes #88

I suggest adding

  sub_pixel:
    flag: True

to the default.yaml at the bottom.

While not strictly related to the rest of this PR, it seems like a useful default and doesn't appear to impact performance too badly, at least on my machine...
