Forecast lead time command line argument #3

Description

@dwfncar

In our changes for the next version of MET, I'd like to add a way for the user to select out which forecast lead time they'd like to use from the input file. This user has one GRIB file containing 36
lead times for surface temperature. But she'll have difficulty using this file in MET. When she requests "TMP/Z0", MET will just use the first record of surface temperature it finds - regardless of
lead time. We should try to make it easier for users with data organized in this way. Perhaps we could add the following command line options:

For Point-Stat, add "-fcst_lead HH[MMSS].
For Grid-Stat, MODE, and Wavelet-Stat, add "-fcst_lead HH[MMSS] and "-obs_lead HH[MMSS].

I suppose we could put this in the config file too, but I think I prefer it on the command line. What do you think about this? [MET-3] created by tressa
