Fix radec_to_xyz

Marcel Loose requested to merge fix-radec_to_xyz into master

The radec_to_xyz() function contained an unnecessary conversion to AltAz coordinates, which also used a wrong LOFAR station location. In astropy ICRS coordinates can be converted to ITRS directly, without the need to go via AltAz. Fortunately, because the conversion to AltAz was just an unnecessary intermediate step, no real harm was done.
