A documentation update required in fits_ccddata_reader

See original GitHub issue

Description

The fits_ccddata_reader documentation says the argument hdu can only accept int, but as it uses the following lines in the source code, it can actually accept, e.g., string (EXTNAME) or tuple of string and integer ((EXTNAME, EXTVER))

    with fits.open(filename, **kwd) as hdus:
        hdr = hdus[hdu].header

I confirmed the following codes work, for example:

CCDData.read("test.fits", hdu=('a', 2), unit='adu')
CCDData.read("test.fits", hdu=('a', None), unit='adu')

By the way, I think it is a bit strange that this reader has hdu while its name (those in *args) is ext in, e.g., getdata 😅

I really am confused still and I think since I am a new contributor I should tackle some easy tasks so as to get some idea about the codebase and maybe after that I can try to solve this. P.S: Thanks a lot for helping!
