WMM2015 geomagnetic model with simple object-oriented Python interface

WMM2015

WMM2015 World Magnetic Model...in simple, object-oriented Python. WMM2020 is also available. Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. Most C compilers work. At this time Visual Studio is not supported since MSVC doesn't export function symbols without additional headers, which is typically done with something like SWIG.
