incompatibility with recent astropy.table

[taichiuyama]

• pyNRC version: 1.3.1
• Python version: 3.10.14
• Operating System: Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1

Description

Describe what you were trying to get done.
Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen.

I'm generating pynrc.source_spectrum from atropy.table to deal with a young star with an IR excess, and the recent astropy versions (5.3+, required by jwst ver. 1.16) have incompatibility with spectra.py
at l1067 - tbl.add_column(col)
needs to be replaced with Table.replace_column()

What I Did

Paste the command(s) you ran and the output.
If there was a crash, please include the traceback here.
