more spectral extraction improvements for downstream use

[kecnry]

Description

This pull request implements several more generalizations/improvements so that spectral extraction can be inherited downstream (in lcviz in spacetelescope/lcviz#115 and possibly in rampviz in the future).

These are very minor changes - would it be unreasonable to consider this for the next bugfix release? Shouldn't affect jdaviz configs directly, so probably doesn't need a changelog?
