NRL SSI data is now v3 #72

Description

@mathomp4

@sdrabenh asked about updating the NRLSSI files that @dr0cloud was making for us. And since we have the scripts used in here, I thought "Should be easy".

Well, nope. NRL moved to a new v3. For example, before the tsi-ssi files looked like:

time (yyyy-MM-dd), sunspot_darkening_function, facular_brightening_function, source
1882-01-01,165.59720,0.15277700,final

1882-01-09,67.623100,0.15281300,final

and with v3:

I found some docs here:

I'm going to go to ChatGPT and see what I can see...
