Add functionality to load an existing mdf file into memory

David Clemens-Sewallrequested to merge
load_mdf into master

In various contexts, it can be useful to load an MDF netCDF file on disk into memory so that the data can be added to, edited, etc. The load_mdf method provides this functionality.

Some caveats:

  • It has not been rigorously tested on a variety of MDF files.
  • Subsites are not implemented yet.
  • It would also be best if the check_file_for_spec method were completed.

I could also see an argument for putting this functionality in the constructor, but I didn't want to mess with that method without getting further buy-in.
