OutOfRangeError when changing the projection in datasets

[spassmoor]

When changing the projection on datasets with slews in them, the error OutOfRangeError: Target point more than 0.5 pi radians away from reference point is produces when there is a slew of that size.

I think this is a bug in katpoint that it can come to a sensible answer but a workaround would be set the katpoint.projection.set_out_of_range_treatment to either clip or nan rather than raise in katdal.

Thanks Sean! I don't think it's a bug - the "user" (in this case katdal) has to decide what to do when out of range. The default is to be very strict and crash. Setting the out-of-range treatment is not a workaround but exactly this decision to be made. I'll transfer this to an SPR1 ticket.

The relevant ticket is SPR1-2958.
