[gnuastro-devel] [task #13765] Convert static libraries to shared libraries

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Follow-up Comment #13, task #13765 (project gnuastro):

Two commits were just pushed to master that were not directly related to this
task but still relevant: the two libraries related to txt and fits files were
renamed to `txtarray' (from `txtarrayvv') and `fits' (from `fitsarrayvv'). In
the latter case, the `_fits_' string would appear two times (redundantly) in
some function names, so such functions were renamed to satisfy the new library
file name.

The commit body thoroughly explains the reasons behind this rename, in short
this is a summary:

* During the work on renaming the functions, the string for the filename for
these two libraries didn't have the `vv's (which was a very good move). So to
avoid confusion, it was also necessary for the `vv's to be removed from the
file names too. 

* The `array' in the fits library was an ancient artifact which was no longer
correct (since the functions in this library now do a large variety of
operations on FITS files, not just array operations). 

* Functions that were purely using WCS (and not related to FITS images) were
moved to a new library called wcs.
