Switch to dict instead of ordered dict in Vizier find_catalogs

[ManonMarchand]

Since astroquery is for python > 3.10, I was wondering if you'd be on board to switch the result of Vizier.find_tables to normal dictionaries here:

astroquery/astroquery/vizier/core.py

Line 836 in 25e6521

return OrderedDict([(R.name, R) for R in vo_tree.resources])

I was thinking something like:

return {R.name: R.description for R in vo_tree.resources}

And I guess the changes to the API would be minimal, but we'd have a nicer repr. Or is there a specific reason that I missed for this?

Also,could we return the description directly instead of the astropy.io.votable.tree.Resource ? The only other information that I think might be useful would be the number of rows in the catalog.

I'm onboard with both changes.

Yeap, both sounds reasonable.

So, this motivated #3028 which will make find_catalogs way faster. However, switching to a dictionary will remove the possibility to do this (in the docs here):

from astroquery.vizier import Vizier
catalog_list = Vizier.find_catalogs('Kang W51')
catalogs = Vizier.get_catalogs(catalog_list.values())
print(catalogs)

Where we use values instead of keys. So that's actually a change of API. Maybe not such a good idea.
