This pull request adds a new oldsndtosnd binary for converting the old binary-format sounding mode files to the modern dmap-format snd files. There are several options (-old, -new, -adak) for dealing with different iterations of the binary sounding mode files which used different forms of internal compression, variable numbers of ranges, etc. Perhaps most significantly, this routine converts the elevation angles calculated on-site back to phi0 using an assumed tdiff value and Y interferometer offset, such that elevation angles can be recalculated from the snd-format files using modern algorithms and/or tdiff estimates.
