The GSkyPixel class now handles 1D and 2D sky indices. This made the distinctive 1D and 2D methods in GSkyProjection and the derived classes obsolete. Now, all projection classes take GSkyPixel as argument. The GSkymap class now uses the universal GSkyPixel class. Methods have been renamed consistently. An integer index is now consistently called "sky map index" and the GSkyPixel object is named a "sky map pixel". Methods operating on indices contain now "inx", method operating on sky map pixels "pix".

After renaming GWcs to GSkyProjection the code has been adapted to the new naming convention.
