Add preferred magnitude mapping to get alternate magnitude columns #102

This adds two dictionaries to the Catalog class. They allow the user to get_row with a different magnitude, which lets different observatories get a more relevant magnitude band. As an example, the TESS bandpass is much closer to Gaia RP than to Gaia G. So this will allow the TESS download code to get that magnitude column when using get_row.
