Create a converter for .nc files for Nortek signature series ADCP #1732

Description

@leewujung

We will be deprecating echopype support for the Nortek signature series ADCP because (from #719 (comment)):

  • Nortek does provide a path to go from .ad2cp to .ntk to .nc
  • we don't have the bandwidth to continue maintaining the AD2CP conversion
  • there are quite a bit to work out on how to store the variables (though IFREMER does use SONAR-netCDF4 to store ADCP data, though I haven't looked into the details)

Seems like it would be a good idea to make a converter to pipe the Nortek .nc file into the echopype format, so that we can provide the downstream compute_Sv function (and the rest of the computation that's based on Sv should just work).
