Make format of input data consistent #26

@yijianzeng @2010010333wyf Currently, the input data are in different formats:

fluspect_parameters: data are in xlsx, txt and mat
PFT: xls
radiation data: dat, atm, tp5, txt
soil spectrum: txt, dat
forcing data: netcdf
soil property: netcdf
the rest are in dat.

Can we have data of xlsx, txt, mat and xls in another standard format like dat or netcdf?
How model choose the fluspect_parameters data?

For Q1: Yes, i think this is a good idea, as long as the interface is friendly for users to change relevant parameters as it is currently in the input_data.xlsx. But let's all have a brief discussion on this.

I do understand that this is only about data format, and will not impact anyhow the data/code flow or any internal coupling between STEMMUS-SCOPE routines.

For Q2, the 'fluspect_prameters' data filenames were used in the 'input_data.xlsx', on sheet 'filenames', Row nr. 6, 'leaf_file', where you find the file name 'Optipar2017_ProspectD.mat'.
