Rust rewrite of cfitsio.

This is a line for line translation of cfitsio, attempting to keep it as compatible as possible and synced with the main repo. The repo exposes a compatible C API.

There are many safety issues to still deal with and we do not support all the targets that the original C code does.

C API Compatibility

This library exposes the complete cfitsio C API with one exception:

• CUnit2FITS() - This function is not exposed as it is primarily used for Fortran wrapper support, which is not supported in this Rust implementation.

All other 662 C API functions from cfitsio are available.
