What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Major refactoring of the ECCC module as well as the data treatment module

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

Yes, very much so. There are a lot of functions that have been pulled into the new preprocessing module, and the ECCC-related code base is completely changed.

Other information:

This is nowhere near ready. There's a strong possibility that the flat-file-handling code will be pulled entirely, as we will be moving towards an approach based entirely on calls to ECCC's GEOMET service. To be determined.

This is obviously not done, but I'd like to merge both this and your branch for RSDS then start cleaning things up.
