[FEATURE REQUEST]: Add RFC Data Extents

[FHanbali]

Feature Request Type

• [x] User Interface (UI)
• [X] Application Programming Interface (API)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

RFCs Areas of Responsibilities were originally added to Cumulus as summarized in the following issue: https://github.com/USACE/cumulus/issues/277 and using the polygon shapefile from the following source: https://www.weather.gov/gis/RFCBounds

However, the RFC data extents are actually beyond the Areas of Responsibilities polygons as shown in the following image:

The actual RFC data extents are really useful for Cumulus downloads to see approaching weather systems.

Describe the solution you'd like

Suggest renaming the currently implemented RFC download extents in Cumulus to "NOAA-NWS-RFC-AOR", i.e. Area of Responsibility.

Then please add the attached RFC data extents as a new download extents option called "NOAA-NWS-RFC" RFC_Extents.zip

@FHanbali Is there a point to having both sets of extents? If we really just use RFC extents to test RFC products, we should modify the existing RFC watersheds already in Cumulus...agree?

[FHanbali]

That's fine @adamscarberry , would be better to have only the full data extents from each RFC. And there is the flexibility for for folks to get more clipped extents to their desired watersheds, and hopefully soon using user-specified shapefiles.
