Fermi LAT data access #37

Description

@cdeil

I would like to add access to the Fermi LAT data to astroquery.

There's a bunch of different data products, most are FITS files with tables, which I guess is easy:
http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/

However the main data server is via this web form where the user enters some parameters:
http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ssc/LAT/LATDataQuery.cgi

With acceptable parameters one gets a page that contains info on the status of the data preparation on their data server and after a minute or so the download links. Here's an example:
http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ssc/LAT/QueryResults.cgi?id=L1301071121485C26556A03

@keflavich Is it possible to interface this data server from astroquery?
(I'll also ask their helpdesk as well if this is allowed and if there is a documented web API I don't know about)
