Revisit conda-forge recipe

[durack1]

An attempt back in Jan 2019 was made to get this library hosted by conda-forge, see conda-forge/staged-recipes#7518. Due to errors the package has not been hosted, and so some work is required to revive this PR and get it approved for conda-forge

ezget is in I believe. Best candidate that come to mind to do this are @mauzey1 @painter1

[doutriaux1]

@jasonb5 and @muryanto1 might be able to help as well.

@doutriaux1 Here's what I have found so far when looking through conda-forge/staged-recipes#7518.

The commit https://github.com/CDAT/staged-recipes/commit/3b8a0b6f046116848840e8a9ac7511ec2665341d, which changed how libnetcdf was pinned, had an issue with the LALInference library.

checking for LALINFERENCE... yes
configure: error: could not find the LALInference library
checking for LALInferenceAddVariable in -llalinference... no

The commit https://github.com/CDAT/staged-recipes/commit/44d989a13a569e6a7a386403529ba9e7eac8469a, which pinned hdf5 again, also added the files .gitattributes, .gitignore, and LICENSE.txt into the recipes directory. Which caused the build script to erroneously treat them as directories.

I would recommend copy the recipe and start from scratch.

@mauzey1 thanks for taking a look at this, it's great to get these open issues fixed, cleaned up and resolved
