Month-day ISO times in selection file

[crotwell]

Nice to use standard ISO time format for start and end times in selection file as easy to grab those from things like the availability web service.

Also allowing ISO times means users can use year-month-day instead of year-dayofyear which can be easier on a person.

This functionality is in libmseed, and the implications span many tools that use this capability to limit data. I've really wanted to add the month-day format for a while, but it's not trivial.

See EarthScope/libmseed#48

Note for the pedantic: ordinal (day-of-year) dates supported now are ISO standard as well, the month-day format is most common amongst the ISO forms. I changed the title to be more specific.

Can I use day of year ISO times in the select file now? The docs show this:

IU   COLA 00   LHZ   *     2008,100,10,00,00 2008,100,10,30,00

I would really like to be able to do this:

IU   COLA 00   LHZ   *     2019-05-13T17:04:05.000001Z  2019-05-13T18:18:20.000000Z

but even just this would be nice:

IU   COLA 00   LHZ   *     2019-133T17:04:05.000001Z  2019-133T18:18:20.000000Z

No.

but even just this would be nice
IU COLA 00 LHZ * 2019-133T17:04:05.000001Z 2019-133T18:18:20.000000Z

That should work just fine.

Yes! meant yes.

Cool!

Then just updating the docs would make me happy! :)
