As a follow-on from astropy/astropy#11368, this formalizes support for object columns within ECSV.

This update reflects what astropy.io.ascii currently outputs for an object column. Note astropy/astropy#11368 (comment) for a potentially simple patch that allows object columns consisting of Python literals to round-trip safely.

Writing standards is not quite my bread and butter, so suggestions welcome.
