replacekey - replace keywords in a FITS header

Algorithm

       The  user can provide a new_keyword, an old_keyword, a value and a comment.  replacekey first searchs for
       old_keyword  if  provided.  If  it  finds  it,  it  replaces  the  associated  card  by   the   new   one
       (new_keyword=value/comment).   If old_keyword is either not found or not provided, replacekey searchs for
       new_keyword, and if it finds it, replaces the associated card by the new one (new_keyword=value/comment).
       new_keyword has to be provided.

       Examples: You want to change the value of VALUE from 32 to 16 in myfile.fits: % replacekey -k "VALUE"  -v
       "16" myfile.fits

       If  you  want  to  replace  the  card  with  the  keyword  OLD by "NEW = 3.14 / This is a usefull key" in
       myfile.fits: % replacekey -k "NEW" -v "3.14" -c "This is a usefull key" -K "OLD" myfile.fits

       If your do not care about the HISTORY cards you have in the header, and want to replace the first one  by
       VALUE=32, you would do:
       % replacekey -k "VALUE" -v "32" -K "HISTORY" myfile.fits

Bugs

       Modifications are so far only possible in the main header, not in the extensions.
