This PR extends the generate_figure function with additional keywords that add additional information to the generated plot, namely:

• addgrid (bool, optional): Whether to include a grid in the figure to facilitate orientation of the viewer. Designed to be non-intrusive
• addsources (bool, optional): Add the data source to the image if available, otherwise global source. Default is False.
• includeSN (bool, optional): Add the serial number for the plot if available. If the source attr is available for a field_name the source_serial_number attr is checked for the serial number (which may not exist, leading to no serial number). If no source attr is available, the global source attr and global source_serial_number is checked. In either case, the length of both source and source_serial_number has to agree.
• addwatermark (bool, optional): Add watermark to image, putting the watermarktext in the bottom left. Default is False.
• watermarktext (bool, optional): The text that will be added if addwatermark is True. Should be adjusted for any non-ACTRIS/FMI site Default is '\u00A9 CLOUDNET, cloudnet.fmi.fi' (copyright symbol).
• watermarkaddcreationtime (bool, optional): Add the creation time after the watermarktext (datetime.datetime.utcnow()

Additionally, the default figure would now include minor xticks and the bounding xticklabels (0/24). This will change the default figure in production, do advise whether this change is fine for fmi

The attached images serve as illustration of the new features compared to the old one
