Add executable to generate file for ligo skymap

The main improvement would be to add a parser with some combination of:

• Input file name
• Output file name
• Parameters to extract
• Maximum number of samples

Also

• Add as an option in the pipeline

@colm.talbot this looks good. If it is not too much trouble could you add an argparser so that people can run --help?

@colm.talbot I added the minimum things I think we need to avoid users getting stuck. I also checked that it worked and can produce skymaps relatively straightforwardly with ligo-skymap.

Are you ready for this to be merged, or do you want time to add the other options?

I think this looks good for now, thanks for adding some of the missing features.
