Introducing mode option for ATCF to signify historical (default) or real-time storm

One problem for testing is that we need to know the storm name and initialization time. Do you have any ideas how to ping this information to get latest a-deck file in ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/aid_public/, and b-deck in ftp://ftp.nhc.noaa.gov/atcf/btk/?

looks like we can use ftplib and ftp.dir() to list files https://www.thepythoncode.com/article/list-files-and-directories-in-ftp-server-in-python I'll work on a thing

@WPringle this function should do what you want: https://github.com/noaa-ocs-modeling/EnsemblePerturbation/blob/c610faf08c243075cc3d7a303a201da746098ec6/ensembleperturbation/tropicalcyclone/atcf.py#L873-L889

Hey thanks @zacharyburnettNOAA for your help on the ftp! So I see the test is only trying to test the Florence best track now?
