[AstroPy] Linearity correction by polynomial fitting

[Joe Philip Ninan]

Hi James,
I think i shall try to keep the code as much pure python as possible.
Installing iraf on the controller machine just for one routine will
probably be an over kill.
Nadia sent me link to pull request of astropy which can do fitting on 2d
array. So i only have to flatten by 3d to a 2d, with time along the column.
( https://github.com/astropy/astropy/pull/493 ).
This isn't merged to astropy yet, but i was told it will be merged soon.
Thanks for the suggestions,
-cheers
joe
