Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Our stellar photometry calculations have gotten too complex and hard to check/debug. We're also needlessly reinventing the wheel on a lot of this.
Describe the solution you'd like
synphot (https://synphot.readthedocs.io/) is a mature, stable package, supported by STScI, which does exactly what we need.
Additional context
This will involve wrapping synphot file management into the init of TargetList (replacing current handling of the Pickles library), rewriting starMag and starF0 and F0 methods, and all of their calls.
