Make healpix+smoc compilation optional

Yeah, I could really use this, I think. Our main database server is still RHEL 6.x, and I don't think there's a libhealpix for it. I'm not seeing a package for it at least.

I'm getting compilation errors when trying to compile the current master branch of this repo:

etc.

Any short-term workarounds that I can employ?

I hacked away at the Makefile using #13 as a guideline and managed to get it to compile, install, and crushtest OK. Whew!

@esabol I did that PR but I had a talk with our colleagues from ivoa (I guess). They wanted to make some changes in Makefile till the end of June. I've postponed my changes to avoid conflicts. I will ask them again at the beginning of next week and proceed with it.

[esabol]

Oh, I was going to submit a PR for this, but I'll defer to yours.

Dear @msdemlei, @df7cb. We spoke about some cleanup in Makefile. It was told that there are some changes are planning from your side in Makefile stuff (#8 (comment)). It least I've understood so. How is your progress going? I would like to continue with optional healpix but I'm still waiting some changes from your side to avoid potential conflicts.

I would also propose to create a new Issue for Makefile cleanup task to be able to discuss some changes.

[df7cb]

Hi, we aren't ready with that yet, so please just go ahead with your changes and we'll cope afterwards. Thanks!

[vitcpp]

@esabol If you are already have a prepared patch, please, create a PR (may be after PARALLEL SAFE). Otherwise, I will plan to do it. Thank you!

[vitcpp]

The issue is done. @esabol Thank you very much!
