Write patch to amend ecCodes library manually

[Ian Culverwell]

ROPP10.0 beta reviewers say, in connection with changes needed to suppress the many, many errors like

ECCODES ERROR : encode_double_value: bendingAngle. Value (1.7e+38) out of range (minAllowed=-0.001,
maxAllowed=0.00948575). Setting it to missing value

that appear when using the ecCodes library:

Rather than verbally describing the required change, ROPP should also come with
a proper patch to avoid ambiguities in the written description.

This would also allow users to apply the fix to other ecCodes libraries, perhaps ones they have already been downloaded.

A patch has been added at ropp_io/tools/eccodes_patch

It is a shell script which applies the changes needed to suppress the warning messages. Simply run the script, giving the path to your unpacked ecCodes source as an argument. The script then suggests that the user check a diff of the edited vs original file to make sure the change has been applied correctly.
