Issue DM-1131: create PSF simulations for shapelet approximation test
To determine the number and order of shapelet expansions needed to approximate the LSST PSF, we need simulations of LSST PSFs, presumably generated using PhoSim. I think we want something like 50-100 extremely high-SNR stars, drawn from realistic distributions of anything that would affect the PSF, including position on the focal plane and center position within a pixel. I only care about getting these out as postage stamps, so I'll leave the question of how best to run PhoSim to get these up to someone else. While this is part of a mostly-Princeton Epic, I'm assigning this issue to Simon as he'd be able to do it much faster than I could. I'll also let him review and update the story points estimate.
