Some Python Improvements

[abukowski21]

[FEAT/etc.] Add ability to postprocess to netCDF, clean up srcPython (some)

Some features, some house-keeping...

• Postprocess to NetCDF
  • Only optional!
  • Does not change behavior without the netcdf-related flags. Does not require netCDF stuff to be installed w python
  • Can write 1 file for the entire run, or one file per timestep
  • lon/lat/z are dimensions (& variables when possible). Longitude/Latitude/Altitude are variables always (inter-compatibility)
  • works, without major changes, with PyITM
• Cleaned up srcPython
  • python 2 code is in python2/ - this can probably be deleted?
  • Stuff that needs aetherpy is silo-ed too. Maybe not delete?
  • plot_drivers works with imf OR ae, and can take command line arguments
    • the plots without imf are especially ugly, but it works

Justification

Addresses #29 #54

Note

I'm open to debate on how the netcdf's are handled and whether we delete the silo-ed python codes.

Changes to GITM outputs

None.

These changes look fine to me. I think that we are moving the GITM and Aether output files closer toward each other, which is good.

I think that the GITM nc files should then work with pyitm, which is great. It is nice that we can now use the same plotting software for both. That is a huge step forward.

I am fine with moving the old plotting stuff into subdirectories.
