Description
Some recent changes by Chris Morrison [X] on a ticket whose number I've forgotten reminded me that the use of a reference catalog to select stars in CharacterizeImageTask has never worked (that ticket removed a bit more of the code that pretended to the job). But we still have a config option to provide a refObjLoader to CharacterizeImageTask, and moreover, many of our obs_ packages override that option, essentially because they want to make sure a particular reference catalog is anywhere one could be.
We should (in order):
- deprecate that config option (I'm not sure if we have a way to deprecate a descriptor, but we should figure one out);
- stop overriding it in any obs packages;
- (on another ticket) remove it.

This should have been closed as a duplicate of DM-34768, which deprecated the config field itself and removed all other uses of it. There is already an associated removal ticket (DM-34769) that is unblocked and will have to remove that lingering obs_subaru usage (which does nothing) in order to pass Jenkins.
It looks like the refObjLoader configuration for characterizeImage was removed from obs_lsst and obs_cfht by John Parejko in
DM-34768. obs_subaru still has mention of config.refObjLoader though but maybe that one is fine?
