ECMWF grids only natively contain "geopotential", so to display "geopotential height" you must use a derived quantity. However, currently "geopotential height" does not appear as a derived quantity for ECMWF data sources. This simply adds a "Geopotential_isobaric" alias so the derived quantity will show up properly.
To test, load an ECMWF grib file as a data source. If you see "3D grid" -> "Derived" -> "Height from Geopotential (Geopotential_isobaric)" as an option, the fix is working. An example file for testing is here:

This is a fix for McV inquiry 1129: http://dcdbs.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1129
