`get_all_variable_names()` function should be expanded to signal wether the name is controlled #60

Right now, this function returns a list. Should we expand it to let a user know that it is part of the controlled vocabulary and that it may have been changed upon loading. Could return a list of two arrays or two arrays.

Hmm, we don't keep the original names. Do we want to keep them ?

I've added an option "standardize" in the LiPD initialization functions, which indicates whether we want to standardize, or not. By default, it is True

let me create a non-standard file and try it out.
