Can now read h5 files for input. This has yet to be extended to the model transfer, though hypothetically this is easily doable.

I am not super happy with the naming of things. The h5 reader is internal to the uvfits_read to have as little footprint as possible. Perhaps we should change the name of uvfits_read to be more general.

Reading data is easy enough, but generating the metadata in the correct format required bespoke code.

One thing of note. IDL will not read h5 files that have been compressed. It is generally default to compress h5 files in pyuvdata, so data_compression=None,flags_compression=None,nsample_compression=None must be set. I need to think of a good way to warn the user, but haven't found a good way.
