Version 0.9.3

Changes since last update (0.9.1):

(1) Lazy instanciation of full Headers/Cards for all HDU's when the file is
    opened.  At the open, only extracts vital info (e.g. NAXIS's) from the
    header parts.  This change will speed up the performance if the user only
    needs to access one extension in a multi-extension FITS file.

(2) Support the X format (bit flags) columns, both reading and writing,
    in a binary table.  At the user interface, they are converted to Boolean
    arrays for easy manipulation.  For example, if the column's TFORM is "11X",
    internally the data is stored in 2 bytes, but the user will see, at each
    row of this column, a Boolean array of 11 elements.

(3) Fix a bug such that when a table extension has no data, it will not try
    to scale the data when updating/writing the HDU list.
