Skin temperature #249

We need to use the variable "Skin temperature" from the WMO standard tables; as for other temperature-related variables, it is available with 2 B table codes with different precisions:

012061 Skin temperature                                                 K                          1            0  12 C                         1         3
012161 Skin temperature                                                 K                          2            0  16 C                         2         4

while in dballe.txt we have only the lower precision one 12061. Can we replace 12061 with 12161 in dballe.txt, to improve precision or we risk to break something?

As far as I know, we don't use B12061 and then you can safely remove it.

mi pare non venga utilizzata dai decodificatori dei vari template, quindi mi pare corretto provvedere alla sostituzione. Dovremo però prima o poi affrontare il problema di versionare la tabella ...
