Coordinate Transform Utilities for Polarization Angles

About

The main function of this library, pol_angle_coord_transform, uses simple spherical trigonometry to translate polarization angles between the current coordinate system and a new coordinate system with North Pole at location (pole_theta, pole_phi) in the current coordinate system (Using the "Physics" coordinate convention where theta is inclination from the pole, and phi the azimuthal coordinate).

Two wrapper functions are provided which translate between Galactic and Equatorial (J2000) coordinate systems. Remember that declination and latitude are defined as π/2 - θ.
