Description

There does not appear to be a converter for the following

WGS84GeodeticRepresentation
WGS72GeodeticRepresentation
GRS80GeodeticRepresentation

Now found in `astropy.coordinates.representation.geodetic`
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/9ec5277724150ea178282f5dfbd9ca8782f89021/astropy/coordinates/representation/geodetic.py#L103-L121

This causes the current test suite to fail as discussed in this PR:
https://github.com/astropy/asdf-astropy/pull/181

Research direction

Start with astropy/coordinates/representation/geodetic.py, especially the WGS84, WGS72, and GRS80 representation definitions, and review asdf-astropy/pull/181 for the failing context. Locate the converter support for these representations, then run the current test suite; done means the geodetic representations are converted without causing those failures.
