In jonasbhend/pressurehelper: Convert historical air pressure records

Read in the original (digitized) pressure series at different stations

1 2	read_pressure(station, datapath = "~/Unibe/pressure/orig_data", compactpath = "~/Unibe/pressure/compact_data")

`station`	name of the station
`datapath`	file path with station files
`compactpath`	file path with station files in compact format

This is a simple wrapper function to read in the station data from Excel/ASCII. For each new format (almost for every station), a new function exists. As this may be unwieldy for short files, alternatively the original data may be manually copied to the standard format.

The idea is to reorganise the original data to a long format (one observing time per line) and convert the units to SI units in functions specific to each station. From there, adding longitudes and latitudes, temperature (from climatology if not in original files) and correcting to standard temperature (0 deg. C) and sea level will be done automatically for all data read in.
