pcolormesh -> contourf switch

[embell139]

Updating product scripts to output contour plots instead of pcolormesh (filled grids).

Also adding products' colorbars to wxvis registry as I go

@GEOS-ESM/earthnow-team - the weird "pixelated" effect I'm getting. first, here's fine detail of using pcolormesh where you seem to see grid boxes:

using contourf is almost identical:

Looking at Bill's IDL code for T2M, he uses the contour function with /CELL_FILL keyword, which is actually equivalent to python's pcolormesh. Reverting to that, although my testing of python's contourf was informative.

Checking all products:

• T2M:
  • contour with /CELL_FILL -> python pcolormesh
• Accumulated precip (rain & snow):
  • contour with /CELL_FILL -> python pcolormesh
• Near surface winds:
  • contour with /CELL_FILL -> python pcolormesh
• CAPE:
  • contour with /CELL_FILL -> python pcolormesh
• 2-5km Helicity & Radar Reflectivity:
  • radar: functions called image_bytscl, create_image_object -> python pcolormesh, essentially.
  • helicity: contour with /CELL_FILL -> python pcolormesh
• AOT:
  • functions called image_bytscl, create_image_object -> python pcolormesh, essentially.
• Carbon AOT:
  • functions called image_bytscl, create_image_object -> python pcolormesh, essentially.
• 500mb Vorticity & Heights:
  • vorticity: functions BYTSCL and create_image_object -> python pcolormesh, essentially.
  • heights: contour with /NORMAL -> python contour with transform = ax.transAxes
• 250mb Wind Speed & SLP:
  • wind speed: BYTSCL and create_image_object -> python pcolormesh, essentially.
  • SLP: contour with /NORMAL -> python contour with transform = ax.transAxes
