Move region/Subset translation code to glue-astronomy

[Jdaviz-Triage-Bot]

Reporter: pllim

This is a follow-up of #1463 . In that PR, because it was blocking something else and we needed a fast turnaround time, some code that could have been in glue-astronomy were added straight into Jdaviz. I am talking about the regions2roi function in jdaviz/core/region_translators.py module. It is better to move that code to glue-astronomy so more people can benefit from the generic translation tools.

So a few things we need to do:

• Move that code to glue-astronomy. Get that released upstream.
• Use the released glue-astronomy code in Jdaviz, deprecate the equivalent code in Jdaviz.
• After a few major Jdaviz releases, remove the deprecated code from Jdaviz codebase.

This probably will drag on for a while and the items above should be sub-tasks.
