Join through association

[camposandro]

The association tables may need to be repartitioned such that its pixels are different from the inner alignment between the primary and the join catalogs. If that's the case we need to recompute the alignment for the join.

This PR adds some logic to do that: align_catalog_with_association first aligns the primary catalog with the association catalog and then it aligns the result to the join catalog to obtain the pixels that need to be joined between the three.

This is a step toward #795. However, I am looking for feedback since this solution will introduce new assoc_Norder and assoc_Npix columns in the partition join info (apart from the already existing Norder, Npix and join_Norder, join_Npix).
