MIVOT: make the creation of SkyCoord instances bullet-proof #680

Description

@lmichel

While testing the mivot.features on Simbad query response, I've seen that SkyCoordBuilderoften fails due to the lack of input data, or even worse due to their inconsistency.
Simbad is a very good test bed because the data aggregated in query response are sparse.

  • The missing/wrong parameters must be checked individually and possibly flagged as ignored
  • Errors risen by Astropy when the instantiation fails, must be properly caught.
  • A specific test module must be setup for this purpose.
