Representation Subclassing

Representation can be subclassed by appending .<subrep> to the representation name, eg. fits.eso. This means that ADI uses the file open and closure routines for representation FITS, but class methods can be overloaded on subclassed representation to allow for differences in, say, FITS header keywords between MIDAS and FTOOLS.
