LightCurveFiles from tpf.interact lack SAP_FLUX label

See original GitHub issue

We currently can’t use the LightCurveFiles created by tpf.interact because the flux extension isn’t readable.

We can fix this by either changing the LightCurveFile class to be able to read a “FLUX” extension from the fits file, or changing tpf.interact to output fits files with “SAP_FLUX” as an extension. I think I prefer the second option.

My two cents is that the Lightkurve philosophy is to make working with the data as easy as possible, while trusting the user to be smart enough to understand where data comes from and what the algorithms are doing.

I think the implication is to adopt SAP_FLUX as the standard extension name for simple aperture photometry, and leave it to the user to understand where the file they are using came from.
