extractor update for region files with ', d, or r sizes

Ziqin noted a problem with using region files output from fv which have region sizes given in arcminutes (ie with an ' appended to the number). Checking the ds9 manual page on regions
I see that appending d for degrees and r for radians is also allowed. I've updated extractor to support these (v4.49).

Note that I'm not yet supporting appended p (for physical) or i (for image). I also don't support all the possible region shapes. I should fix that one day.
