WIND load routines skip variables, should probably default to addmaster=True to use improved metadata #754

When I tried to use wind 3dp instrument, pyspedas will not load into tplot variables...

pyspedas.wind.threedp(["2011-08-26T21:26:00.000Z", "2011-08-26T21:27:30.000Z"],datatype='3dp_pm')

Try passing addmaster=True to your call. This uses a master CDF from SPDF (metadata only, overriding what's in the data CDFs) with much better metadata than the data CDFs. The WIND data CDFs are missing a lot of metadata, so often a master CDF is necessary. In this case, it seems to get rid of the warnings. We should probably make that the default for WIND....I'll keep this task open for that purpose.

Thanks James, that works!

Fix released with pyspedas 1.5.5, now available via pypi
