This is another step toward achieving #147.

The objective of this PR is to develop the capabilityy to read CWEEDS files (http://climate.weather.gc.ca/prods_servs/engineering_e.html), either in the WY2 or WY3 format in order to retrieve hourly global solar radiation, convert the data to daily values, and save the result in a file compatible with the HELP model (https://www.epa.gov/land-research/hydrologic-evaluation-landfill-performance-help-model).

What HELP wants is Total Daily Global Solar Radiation. The problem is that I cannot find explicitly what are the units in the metric format... I guess it is J/m2/day but I'm not sure.
