Subset Edit Plugin: Edit compound Subset

[Jdaviz-Triage-Bot]

Reporter: pllim

This is a follow-up of #1427 . Do we want to allow user to edit sub-Subsets in a compound Subset?

Things to consider:

• Just how useful is this feature for image viewers? For example, compound Subset is useless for things like aperture photometry. What is it really used for?
• For spectrum viewer, how should we handle a use case where user edits sub-Subsets to the point where they overlap, should we make it a non-compound Subset or throw exception?
• For spectrum viewer, how robust is this feature for all sorts of spectral axes and WCSes that we support? Will this even work for WCS-TAB use case if user somehow edit sub-Subset that it falls within the gaps?
• Is a compound Subset only one-level deep? What if they can be N-level deep, how do we handle editing that in a sane way?
