Add ability to rotate data to make sure things align #254

In Gary's code and most other processing codes there is the ability to rotate channels into the same coordinate system and/or rotate the transfer function into a geographical coordinate system.

A use case would be you collect your data in geomagnetic coordinates and you want to use observatory data as a remote reference. The observatory data is collected in geographic coordinates. So now there is a declination angle difference between the collected data and remote reference data. Or in the field there was a barrier that you couldn't get around with your electrode so you set the azimuth to 60 degrees and now you need to rotate that so it is 90.

Can we add the ability rotate channels to Aurora? I think we could add rotation to MTH5, but Aurora should also have that capability.
