Update db.adddata method to accept Astropy tables

Possibly related to Issue #20

Is this strictly necessary? If you want to save the rows of an astropy table, you can already add them with add_data. The entire table can be saved with something like:

data = list()
data.append(t.colnames) # t is the astropy table
data += t.as_array().tolist()
db.add_data(data, tablename)

As long as the column names match, this would work to add the table to the database.

Or is the issue referring to adding a full table as a single entry in the database?

Yeah, it's not necessary. It was suggested by the referee on the astrodbkit
paper and seemed useful but definitely not essential.

Closing as it was deemed not essential. Re-open if it becomes necessary.
