Change installGoesGrids() to download the 2 seed .nc files it needs #66

Currently, we ship 2 AOD .nc files in the extdata directory of the MazamaSatelliteUtils package. These are large files and prevent us from checking the package into CRAN. The installGoesGrids() function reads these files to create the GoesEast and GoesWest grids. We need to remove these .nc files from extdata and instead download them into the defined SatelliteDataDir, as-needed, to create the grids.

The steps needes to accomplish these tasks look something like this.
