create location class for easy conversion between lat/lon, modis tile, WRS2 pathrow, etc. #46

A users experience could be dramatically improved if they could (for any given item with a bounding box of lat/lon coordinates) view that object, select a few NASA data products they are interested in seeing for certain time domain constraints and click a button to have formatted (and possibly clipped) geotiffs deposited onto their hard drives. One of the key missing links to do this is the simple translation from lat/lon on earth to the various tiling and naming conventions of all the products. This could be done with some kind of location class. This got started in commit 1e9801ac349bfffd7184f52bfc0b191916bf665c on the dl-loc-class branch.

wishlist: modis sinusoidal tile modis polar tile WRS2 (all landsat products) degree arc (1 degree by 1 degree segment for SRTM) Continental united states "CONUS" (true/false value)
