Need better calibration coding for LF hydrophones #102

Currently, we are using a CSV (ooipy/ooipy/hydrophone/calibration_by_assetID.csv) to map a flat calibration response for the LF hydrophones.

If you go to https://ds.iris.edu/mda/OO/AXCC1/--/HDH/ (for Central Caldera for example), there is more detailed calibration information that would be nice to incorporate into the code.

IRIS does offer the option to calibrate data when requesting it, but I've found that this take significantly longer than pulling the raw data.

The information in the above link is just the digital filtering, but doesn't contain any actual hydrophone calibrations. (just the single number reported). So this is probably not a viable thing to add.
