Bypassing Input =============== In certain cases, it may be useful to skip using the butler's reading machinery. This should not be the case for PafStorage, PickleStorage, ConfigStorage, FitsCatalogStorage, or any dataset type known to the Persistence Framework (i.e. with a Formatter). But other datasets, particularly ones that are stored in FITS tables but are not LSST afw Source Tables (which use FitsCatalogStorage) or ones that are derivatives of other dataset types (like metadata headers extracted from a file or subimages from an image), may need this capability. It is also appropriate for "datasets" with no actual data that can be computed solely on the basis of the data ids. Add a `bypass_{dataset type}(self, datasetType, pythonType, location, dataId)` method to the mapper subclass. The `datasetType` argument is redundant but preserved for compatibility. The `pythonType` argument comes from the mapper; it has already been imported. The `location` argument is a `ButlerLocation` object; substitution of fields using the `daf_persistence` `LogicalLocation` facilities (which should rarely be necessary) has not been done yet, but all other mapping and data id substitutions have been performed. Typically, the pathname of the first location in the list contained in the `ButlerLocation` is what is needed: `location.getLocations()[0]` The `bypass_{dataset type}` method must return the actual object (usually of the specified `pythonType`) after retrieval. This may still be proxied by the butler. Any standardization specified by `std_{dataset type}` methods is still performed on the object returned by the bypass method.
