Code to be used as part of FOV/metadata preview tool for XRT observations.

This module contains all of the functions used by the main XRT metadata manager tools to download metadata for a particular XRT dataset that the user may wish to preview.

We’re in the process of breaking up PR #345 into two smaller pull requests to reduce complexity and make the review process more manageable. This is also part of a learning process for @ntrueba - as we work through new software development practices.

I want to re-emphasize the purpose of these sub-PRs, as originally described in PR #345:

This PR introduces a new extension to XRTpy that provides an experimental graphical interface ("Gooey") for quickly previewing and accessing XRT observations. While this code is not directly part of the core XRTpy package at this stage, it aligns well with XRT data analysis workflows and could serve as a lightweight tool for users to rapidly view available observations without downloading and manually inspecting each file. The current implementation is a work in progress and not yet fully tested. We're exploring the best path forward, including whether this should remain a standalone utility or eventually integrate into XRTpy more formally.

This particular sub-PR focuses solely on the foundational code for downloading data. It is self-contained and does not depend on any other modules or GUI components.
