xspec 12 diagnostics for reading files

v12 doesn't write out much helpful information when a file is rejected for some reason. Made a start at fixing this by adding diagnostic message output at chatter level 25 to OGIP_92aIO::fileFormat in DataFactory/OGIP-92aIO.cxx and DataUtility:readArrays in Data/DataUtility.cxx.

UPDATE: A better solution is to add a call to FITS::setVerboseMode in the chatter command code so that CCfits verbosity is turned on if chatter >= 25. This is now implemented in 12.2.0x.
