feat(inputs): Meteomatics downloader #146

Closed devsjc closed 2 months ago

Implements a NWP Consumer client for Meteomatics. For the sake of time, the differences between the meteomatics API and other sources of NWP data have not been taken into account in a more clever way than offloading much of the modified logic to the implementation of the FileInfoModel. As such, there's more hardcoding than I'd like, as well as less customization and parameterisation.

This is mostly due to the fact that the dataset we are pulling from meteomatics is not a gridded dataset, but rather a timeseries over a set of specific coordinates. These changes negate the use of the area parameter from the FileInfoModel. When I have time, it would be good to revisit this so it can have its sites chosen via env vars like for instance how the parameterGroups works with other inputs.
