csv downloads of metadata table, validation results, preprocessing results, and time series #354

Closed wholmgren closed 3 years ago

The metadata table would be useful for anyone that wants to join the metrics table with the metadata and order by something. I'd make the csv version of the metatable include all of the observation and forecast metadata (such as lead time to start) so that users can slice and dice on more things.

The validation results and preprocessing results are probably of less interest, but I'm guessing it's easy to do.

Downloads of the resampled and aligned time series might be a separate issue depending on how the report/api is organized.

Moving this back to rc2. With non-public forecasts you really need an ability to inspect the metadata from the report. For example, #519 has a test report with some test probabilistic forecasts that were created locally - but I can't fully understand the plots/metrics from just the metadata in the report.
