Proposal for new astropy.array subpackage

See original GitHub issue

The tools in astropy.nddata.utils really have no relation to NDData and thus they are a bit hard to find. For example, it’s not obvious that Cutout2D or block_reduce would fall under the NDData subpackage. I propose that we move these tools to a new astropy subpackage, perhaps called astropy.array (better name suggestions are welcome!). Before I go ahead with this change, I’d like to hear thoughts from others.

There are other tools, e.g. a radial profile tool (#6078) that currently have no obvious place to go. An astropy.array package would be a good place (better than others).

Thoughts?

I’d put in bitmask now. There’s no sense in waiting for a new subpackage that might not happen.
