Expose MeasurementSet functionality

[sjperkins]

It would be helpful if requiredTableDesc was exposed in the python wrappers so that access to the basic table configuration was available for creating new tables.

Had a quick go at adding it in pytables.cc but requiredTableDesc doesn't live on TableProxy (looks like its a static method on MeasurementSet).

pytables and TableProxy form a generic casacore table interface, while
requiredTableDesc is a MeasurementSet-specific function. However, I can see
it is useful. I'll think about it. Maybe a python interface to MS
functionality is needed.

Hypothetically speaking, would such an interface also have access to methods such as createDefaultSubtables? Perhaps the issue needs to be reworded.

Yes, it would.

Exposing the MS functionality would help greatly in e.g. writing an MS filler for LOFAR station visibility data too.
