[AstroPy] Aperture photometry

[Sergio Pascual]

It would be great to have routines directly comparable with those from
Iraf or IDL. What kind of apertures does Astrolib support? How it
handles subpixel fractions?

I think there's a lack of information about the algorithms used to
effectively compute the subpixel fraction in the apertures.
