mask not used in PSFPhotometry

I wanted to use the mask feature to mask out some missing values in my image due to saturated pixels. There should be enough information in the surrounding pixels to do PSF fit, however, I discovered that psf_photometry accepts as mask keyword, but never uses it in the code:

Is that a bug or a feature to be implemented in the future (in that case is should probably raise a NotImplementedError for now...)?

@hamogu

The PSF photometry code is unfinished ... see open issues here:

@hamogu As far as I know no-one is actively working on it, so if you have bandwidth to finish the implementation or add tests / docs, please do.

#159 is one possible implementation that coud solve this.

Existing tests for PSF/PRF now pass.
