SOOP XBT DM - measured parameters such as TEMP should not have axis and positive variable attributes #503

This may be true for other non DM SOOP XBT. I have noticed that vaiables other than DEPTH have variable attribute axis and positive set to Z and down respectively. This is not correct. Only a vertical variable such as DEPTH should hold these attributes.
