hips — HiPS tile server

Serves HiPS tiles from an object store backed by Google Cloud Storage. This is an interim approach that will eventually be replaced by serving the tiles directly from Google Cloud Storage with special code to handle authentication.

It is a replacement for the normal static file server approach to serving HiPS file trees, used because Rubin Observatory prefers object storage for all data products.

The HiPS list, which catalogues all available HiPS file trees, is generated and served by datalinker instead of this application.
