Make reduce output a catalog #420

Feature request

It would be really nice if Catalog.reduce() would return a catalog object, so it can be spatially-joined or dumped to the disk. Also it would be great, if we can make it assign new columns back to the original catalog (or its copy), because it is a very popular use-case.
