PR to add functionality to read Aquadopp data packets, but this code has only been tested on Aquadopp profilers (not single-point Aquadopps). Note that Aquadopp/AWAC waves functionality has also been added but is untested.

I've done a decent bit of cleanup of the nortek.py code in this PR as well.

The PR also simplifies the code related to the non-cabled ADV's "orientation_down" parameter. (This parameter exists because the z-axis is flipped on the non-cabled version of the ADV). This PR no longer reads the bit set in each burst ping, which is wont to oscillate for an unknown reason, but instead takes the value from the datafile's header. This means that DOLfYN assumes that a non-cabled ADV is not moved after it starts running.
Cabled ADVs, AWACs and Aquadopps also have the "orientation_down" parameter for user information, but it is not needed otherwise.

I have not figured out how to properly set the cell size and blanking distance for high resolution (HR) profiles, so tbd on that.
