Python-awips

This is a minor release with the following changes:

* Added a new class **[awips.dataaccess.ModelSounding()](https://python-awips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/ModelSounding.html)** to request a vertical sounding from any available AWIPS model with isobaric data levels.
* Published a new [Forecast Model Vertical Sounding](https://python-awips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/generated/Forecast_Model_Vertical_Sounding.html) notebook using awips.dataaccess.ModelSounding() to retrieve a profile and MetPy to plot a Skew-T/Log-p

This is a minor release with the following changes:

* published a new [Colored Surface Temperature](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Colored_Surface_Temperature_Plot.ipynb) Jupyter notebook
* published a new [Regional METAR/SYNOP Surface Obs](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Regional_Surface_Obs_Plot.ipynb) Jupyter notebook
* New functions **DataAccessLayer.getMetarObs()** and **DataAccessLayer.getSynopticObs()** added to process retrieved surface parameters into a dictionary.

This is a minor update release with the following changes:

* control for bytestring encodings with Python 3 and unicode with Python 2
* best-practice syntax updates, removed unused imports and classes
* published a new [GLM example notebook](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/GOES_Geostationary_Lightning_Mapper.ipynb)
* published an updated [Profiler example notebook](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Profiler_Wind_Barb_Time-Series.ipynb)
* published an updated [METAR station plot example notebook](https://python-awips.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/generated/METAR_Station_Plot_with_MetPy.html)

This is a minor update release with the following changes:

* fix mixed indentation in `awips/stomp.py` and `awips/TimeUtil.py`
* add default edex-cloud server to dafTest scripts
* reorganized test and rpm-build directories

* python-awips naming convention will now follow AWIPS (18.1.1, 18.1.2, etc.) beginning with this release.
* New class **GetGridLatLonRequest** for lat/long requests to be made separately from gridded data requests.
* Full **Vtec** color definitions for watch/warn products.
* Sets/gets for geospatial envelope and coordinate reference system (WKT) in **GetGridDataResponse.py**
* new optional "lazy loading" of grids, where the library can wait until the lat/lon data for a grid is needed before loading. Examples of when this should be set to True are when the lat/lon information is not used or when it is used only if certain conditions within the data are met. It could be set to False if it is guaranteed that all lat/lon information is needed.
* New **DataQueue** convenience class for using the notifications feature. This is a collection that, once connected to EDEX by calling start(), fills with data as notifications come in. Runs on a separate thread to allow non-blocking data retrieval.
* New data notification class **PyGridNotification** which improves performance over requesting by datatime since it requests only the parameter that the notification was received for (instead of this and all previous parameters for the same forecast hour). However, this this fails for derived requests.
* New adapter **GeomDataRespAdapter.py** for GetGeometryDataResponse.
* New build organization for python-awips to collect the code contributions from awips2-builds, awips2-core plugins.
* New dynamicserialize classes **GetPrimarySiteRequest** and **ValidateConfigRequest**.
* Apache **Thrift** updated to version 0.10.0.

* Reorganized, full nexrad dictionary added to tables.py
* **pandas** and **h5py** requirements added to 'python-awips' conda environment
