BUG Ensure masked object arrays can always return single items.
For a masked array holding objects that themselves are arrays, when selecting a single item, it is treated as if it were a slice of the array and an attempt is made to set its mask. This was always a bug, but it become visible with a recent change to `MaskedArray.__getitem__` (gh-4586) where it is attempted to change the shape of the mask. With this PR, this case gets special treatment in that the object is made into a Masked Array with a full set mask. (A previous attempt to do the perhaps more logical think and just return `masked` caused quite a few errors in astropy.io.votable; it seemed it was not worth breaking backwards compatibility that much). Test case that now works but used to fail: ``` mx1 = MaskedArray([1.], mask=[True]) mx2 = MaskedArray([1., 2.]) mx = MaskedArray([mx1, mx2], mask=[False, True]) mx[0] ```
