Refactor skymap so that the output is a numpy array that can be used a result in its own right, as well as sent for plotting. For an example of desired functionality, please consult https://github.com/mjuric/incubator/blob/master/lsdb/lsdb-dataframes.ipynb (e.g., cell 13).

It might be better to have skymap.histogram or skymap_histogram being a numpy array containing the ``histogram;; and keep the skymap (being a map) a figure.
