      Description

      This implements RFC-549.  To my knowledge, PhotoCalib is currently the only part of the codebase that uses any unit for calibrated fluxes right now.  Please comment here if you know of any other code.

            There's still the issue that right now one can call (from python) lsst.afw.image.fluxFromABMag() and this is something different from lsst::utils::ABMagnitudeToNanojansky() (though I guess this isn't exposed in Python by this name). The fact that this first call is actually part of Calib rather than PhotoCalib is not apparent to the user (for example me, until now) at all.

            lsst.afw.image.fluxFromABMag() will be going away with Calib, so I'm not too worried about it (especially since it doesn't tell you what units come out of it).
