Force OBJECT cards in FITS headers to be strings

Leo P. Singer requested to merge leo-singer/lalsuite:fits_object_string into master

According to the FITS standard, the OBJECT card must be a string. Sometimes we put integers in this field (e.g. simulation_id or coinc_event_id values), which breaks some FITS reading software such as Healpy.

For review by @adam-mercer or @john-veitch.
