Description
With recent changes to support feed angles and telescope mounts and deprecate x_orientation, it's not clear what is most appropriate.

Research direction
Start at the UVData.get_pols entry point and review the recent feed-angle and telescope-mount changes, including the deprecation of x_orientation. Determine the intended polarization labels for HERA and define what behavior should replace the current "nn" and "ee" values; the issue is complete once that decision is implemented and verified.
