Rc v0.3.2

[rstoneback]

Release Candidate for v0.3.2.

• Includes fixes to improve building with modern systems
• Compatible with pysat v3.0+
• Adds template documents for pulls, community documents, testing via GitHub Actions.
• Same CDF library version as last release.

I intend to have a follow up release that increments the CDF library version. For highest backwards compatibility I decided to release this minimum changes version first.

Note the current version online for PIP only works for Mac systems. This release is intended to bring pysatCDF back from the dead. Rehabilitation and such will follow to further bring pysatCDF up to full project standards. Progress has been made in this release to add template docs, code formatting improved, etc. pysatCDF passes all tests via pysatNASA and is approx. 60 times faster loading CDF files than pure python.

@gregstarr @asreimer Thanks for contributing to pysatCDF! Apologies it has taken so long to get this release out. I've updated the zenodo.json with my best attempt at correct author information. I'd appreciate it if you could review the info.

Running unit tests for https://github.com/pysat/pysatNASA/pull/102 with this branch, I get the following error when trying to load all cdf instruments:

EDIT: This was due to my local setup. It was pulling in an old version of pysatCDF for some reason.

RC4 and RC5 via testpypi are compiling and passing pysatNASA tests on my local system. The relevant command for testpypi download.

python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pysatCDF==0.3.2rc5
