readCatalogueRecordsfunction
Read catalogue records from OMM text, as JSON (a list of objects) or CSV (a header row, then a row for each object). Each row's elements are read as parseElements reads them, and OBJECT_TYPE (PAYLOAD, ROCKET BODY, DEBRIS,
UNKNOWN, TBA), COUNTRY_CODE, LAUNCH_DATE and RCS_SIZE give the kind, owner, launch and radar size where the row has them. Six-digit and longer catalogue numbers are read as they are: OMM carries them where a TLE cannot.
It throws if the text is neither JSON nor CSV with a header.
