Description
The documentation states that RF metrics are in units of degrees, but they are currently being returned in pixels. We need to add some conversion functions to get these values into the correct units.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file or test. Locate the ecephys receptive-field metric implementation and the documentation that specifies degree units, then determine the pixel-to-degree conversion needed for each returned value. Done means the metrics are returned in degrees as documented and the relevant behavior is verified.
