Issue DM-5641: finish up afw.table to astropy.table view support
At an LSST/AstroPy summit hack session, we've put together a functional system for viewing afw.table objects as astropy.table objects on branch u/jbosch/astropy-tables of afw and https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/4740. Before merging, we should add support for "object" columns for subclasses to hold e.g. Footprints in SourceCatalog, and add some documentation. We may also want to add a convenience method to return an astropy.table.Table directly.
