CMIP-Data-Request/CMIP7_DReq_Software: v1.3 CMIP7 data request software

This software release follows the release of v1.2.2.2 of the CMIP7 Data Request.

Please see the README for guidance on using the software. User feedback is welcome - see the README for how to provide feedback.

Release notes:

• Versioning of the DR Software (i.e., tags in this repo) are no longer following DR Content release version identifiers, as they have previously. DR Software versions will follow standard 3-part semantic versioning starting at this release with v1.3. Since the software should work with multiple DR Content versions, and the DR Content is now mostly stable for the CMIP7 AFT, decoupling the DR software and content versioning makes it easier to manage future software updates that don't follow a DR Content release (or vice versa).

• Example output json files of DR variables metadata in scripts/examples are updated to v1.2.2.2 DR content. Branded names in this DR version were generated using version 0.12.0 of the CMIP branded variable mapper.

• Improved local caching of downloaded DR Content (#175)
