Improved Calibration and Simulation APIs

Full Changelog: 0.16.0...0.18.1

New BPLUT interchange format

The function pyl4c.data.fixtures.restore_bplut() returns a dictionary representation of the Biome Properties Lookup Table (BPLUT) that looks something like:

    "vpd": array([[...],
                  [...]])
    ...

For parameters that define the slope of ramp functions on fields like VPD, minimum temperature, etc. This format (above) uses a multi-dimensional numpy.ndarray where the first axis enumerates each parameter of the ramp function.

Now, for compatibility with newer libraries and applications, a flatter format is proposed:

{
    "vpd0": [...],
    "vpd1": [...],
    ...

Where [...] could be a 1D numpy.ndarray or a flat sequence.

Support for downscaling NASA AppEEARS granules

In pyl4c.apps.resample, it is now possible, using NestedGrid.downscale_netcdf_by_pft(), to downscale L4C data downloaded from NASA AppEEARS.
