samuelleblanc/4STAR_codes: 4STAR processing codes for 2020

The 4STAR processing codes in matlab format for bringing 4STAR sampled raw data to archival data. These include all previous 4STAR code releases, many bug fixes, and addition of some notable code functionality.

Notable changes:

• New netcdf file saving for skyrad, aero_inv, zenrad files.
• Bug fixes and additional skyscan required codes that were previously omitted
• MODIS surface albedo for skyscans for COSR
• Calibration data for radiances (updates and ploting codes)
• Inclusion of flag files and starinfo for COSR, NAAMES, and others that aren't ORACLES
• Analysis codes for 425 nm issue, and new flagging for ORACLES
• Easier path utilities and gas analysis for skyscans

This code release is used in building the archival files for these major campaigns: ORACLES-2016, ORACLES-2017, ORACLES-2018, NAAMES-1 & 3, COSR, and multiple Mauna Loa (MLO) deployments.
