Add an iotools function to read ECOSTRESS (ASTER) spectral albedo files?

[kandersolar]

The ASTER/ECOSTRESS projects provide a library of spectral albedo measurements for many ground surfaces. It can be browsed here (I suggest changing the default group to something other than "lunar"): https://speclib.jpl.nasa.gov/library

Each substrate's spectral albedo dataset is available in a file like this one: https://speclib.jpl.nasa.gov/ecospeclibdata/soil.alfisol.haplustalf.none.all.87p3468.jhu.becknic.spectrum.txt

I have a small parser function for these files. Would it be a worthy addition to pvlib.iotools?

To me, that seems like too much detail for most modelers, who want a few representative values of broadband albedo.

I guess I would be a potential user.
