Describe the Enhancement

John Opatz is calling the plot_point_obs tool as part of the NOAA evaluation of precipitation type verification. He's verifying global GFS data against point observations only over CONUS. Plot-point-obs works fine, but since the gridded data is global the resulting image is too big. We discussed how he could run regrid_data_plane first, before plot_point_obs to define the plotting region. But it'd be a lot easier for him if plot_point_obs would support that regridding step directly. This task is to enhance plot_point_obs by adding support for regridding to the grid_data dictionary.

Should only require a few lines of code to parse the regrid dictionary, a few lines of code to apply it, and a little bit of documentation.
