Earthdata-varinfo

2022-02-07

This patch version updates the `numpy` dependency within `sds-varinfo` to help
mitigate security vulnerabilities from `numpy` versions in downstream services.

The `VariableBase` and child classes have been updated such that all metadata
attributes can be augmented by overrides and supplements, not just those that
contain CF-Convention references. In addition the configuration file can now be
used to set values for metadata attributes not present in the original granule
metadata.

The `VarInfoFromDmr._set_global_attributes` class method has been updated to
correctly handle `Attribute` XML elements with a DAP4 type: `Container`.

The `VariableBase` class has been updated to include an `is_temporal` method.
This will return a boolean value indicating whether the variable has a `units`
metadata attribute conforming to the format outlined in the CF-Conventions
(section 4.4). A convenience method `Variable.get_attribute_value` has been
added This will allow an end-user to retrieve the value of a metadata
attribute, while specifying a default value. Lastly, the
`VarInfoBase.get_temporal_dimensions` method has been added, which retrieves a
set of required `Variables` for which `Variable.is_temporal()` is true, based
on a set of requested variables.

The `VariableBase` class has been updated to retrieve all metadata attributes,
rather than only named attributes. In addition the retrieval of CF-Convention
references from metadata attributes has been consolidated into a `references`
class attribute. This causes a minor change to clients attempting to access
coordinate variable references: `variable.reference.get('coordinates')`. The
`VariableBase.dimensions` attribute remains in place, and will still be
combined with other variable references when using the `get_references` class
method.

This version of `earthdata-varinfo` includes preliminary functionality to
streamline the process of creating UMM-Var records given information about a
collection in CMR:
* Added `cmr_search.py` to search CMR for granule URLs given collection
information.
* Added function `download_granule` to `cmr_search.py`, to download a granule
from a specified URL.
