capgen must implement the unit conversion module (50 hours)

[gold2718]

capgen must implement automatic unit conversions.
The set of known unit conversions is already in conversion_tools/unit_conversion.py

[gold2718]

The current design for this feature includes infrastructure for all known variable transforms (currently units, kind, and dimension ordering).

@gold2718 Both @dustinswales and myself started looking into enabling these var actions in the auto-generated code, but we were wondering if you have time to meet with us and share how you would have approached it. Clearly you must have had a path in mind when you coded up the various bits and pieces, but it's a little hard to follow for someone who didn't write the code ... and we want to get it right.

I would love to meet but would like to include @peverwhee who has been doing the majority of the capgen coding these days.
What sort of time do you think we can work out? I have a farily narrow band of times that overlap with your work day.
I can attend a meeting that ends by 10AM Boulder time or that is between11:30 and around 13:30. At the moment, I'm open at those times so let me know if the 3 of you find a common time that fits.

Thanks Steve, and yes, Courtney, Dustin and I talked just yesterday about meeting with you. Since I don't have your current email address, would you mind sending an email to me (my NOAA address still works) and I'll organize something. Thanks very much!
