Update epoch handling #306

Closed ddobie closed 2 years ago

ddobie commented 3 years ago

The current default behaviour in find_sources is to only query the first epoch. This should be updated to query all epochs, making it consistent with the default behaviour in the Query class.

RACS-mid will be available soon, and hence Query._get_epochs() should be updated to also remove epoch 14 when the requested epochs are "all-vast".

Currently some of the P2 epochs are partially available (e.g. 17 and 18 tiles are on ada). I believe it makes sense to allow users access to what data is available, so we should add all potential epochs to RELEASED_EPOCHS and have a check for if that epoch data is available. This is already partially implemented for RACS and only requires expanding the existing upon the existing check_racs_exists function.
