Reduce the number of tests for supported catalog formats.

[mairanteodoro]

Closes #1481

This PR reduces the number of supported formats to be tested in the unit test runs. It doesn't mean we're reducing the number of actual supported formats, which should be the same as those supported by astropy's table.Table class (full list can be created by running Table.write.list_formats()).

Regression tests

All regtests are passing:

Tasks

• request a review from someone specific, to avoid making the maintainers review every PR
• add a build milestone, i.e. 24Q4_B15 (use the latest build if not sure)
• Does this PR change user-facing code / API? (if not, label with no-changelog-entry-needed)
  • write news fragment(s) in changes/: echo "changed something" > changes/<PR#>.<changetype>.rst (see below for change types)
  • update or add relevant tests
  • update relevant docstrings and / or docs/ page
  • start a regression test and include a link to the running job (click here for instructions)
    • Do truth files need to be updated ("okified")?
      • after the reviewer has approved these changes, run okify_regtests to update the truth files
• if a JIRA ticket exists, make sure it is resolved properly

What would be required to add asdf?

LGTM. Fixes the devdeps failure (the 2 remaining failures are the python 3.13 ones which won't run because of scikit-image).

I left a comment about supporting asdf. As it wasn't a supported format before I'd say a separate PR makes sense.

FWIW, it looks to me like asdf round-trips fine (tab.write('blah.asdf') ; tab = Table.read('blah.asdf')) seems fine to me. So I would have guessed that we could include it as a format without additional effort.

The overwrite argument here causes the asdf format to fail:

romancal/romancal/tweakreg/astrometric_utils.py

Line 153 in dad64d5

ref_table.write(output, format=table_format, overwrite=True)

I didn't try changing that so there may be other hurdles.
