How to include the UW "APO05" M dwarf Data #1

As noted in astropy/specreduce #55, this data should live here.

What should we require for data to be added to this repo?

i would say this is the place for data that is useful for specreduce, but not required for the specreduce package to install and its code to run properly. within this repo the thinking is that data to be used while running specreduce be placed within specreduce_data. it is set up to be a python package that could be installed via pip or other means and its contents available via pkg_resources. as such, we should limit the size and amount of data that goes in there.

larger data and datasets should be placed in other directories within this repo, e.g. test_data or tutorial_data. or even in their own directories. the data would be accessed by cloning the repo, accessing raw github URLs, or perhaps preferably by setting up github pages support for this repo.

so i would say that for the M dwarf data the only requirement is that it not go in specreduce_data...
