netcdf utility library move?

Description

Review best location for the ncdf library (Chris Marquardt PES). The module is currently built as part of ropp_io. Moving library to ropp_utils might provide more module independence (e.g. ropp_pp_read_MSIS only dependent on ropp_utils, testing routines could call ncdf routines directly).

Considered a move of netcdf libraries to ropp_utils. However, in practice the ropp_pp_read_* routines will likely be compiled by a user who also requires to install ropp_io for I/O. Further, building ropp_utils without any external dependencies is the simplest 'first step' build for users.

Searching for the availability of a netCDF library to build the ncdf module is more consistent with the use of external dependencies in the ropp_io module (netcdf, bufr).

Close ticket as invalid - not appropriate to move this interface library.
