Compatibility with idl 8.5.2+ #186

The retired coyote library programme histoplot.pro (http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/retired/histoplot.pro) is now incompatibible with the latest versions of idl due to the depreciation of the _REF_EXTRA keyword passing method (see https://www.harrisgeospatial.com/Support/Self-Help-Tools/Help-Articles/Help-Articles-Detail/ArtMID/10220/ArticleID/15172/IDL-86-Release-Notes). Histoplot.pro is unsupported software so will not be patched. This leads to the errror:

        _REF_EXTRA=extra, $              ; For passing extra keywords.
                         ^

% Keyword _REF_EXTRA is not allowed when calling a routine.

when running kl14 and prevents running.
