l2decodeV5

This is a prototype WSR-88D Level-II (NEXRAD weather radar) data decoder and image generator written in Rust. I've never really used Rust before, so I decided to rewrite one of my old C routines to get a feel for how things work. This code probably isn't the best, but it's a start. I've come to like Rust a lot in the process of writing this over the past couple of days!

Notes:

• Only processes reflectivity data for the first elevation scan. The code is structured such that it's possible to get other products out of it though.
• Expected input is an Archive-II file assuming RDA build 19 and later. It probably wouldn't take much to get it to support data from sites running older builds of the RDA software.
