Fix reading ASCII files that contain a header that is five words long

Duncan Macleod requested to merge github/fork/duncanmmacleod/fix-ascii-header-reading into master

This PR fixes #1473 (closed) by simplifying the gwpy.io.cache.is_cache method in two ways

  • use float as the GPS column type, which has more predictable error reporting (ValueError) and no stderr output
  • catch all exceptions from read_cache and return False
