[Internal] Landsat 9 support in ENVI 5.6.2

MariM

ENVI 5.6.2 currently supports three flavors of Landsat-9 data available from the USGS:

Landsat Collection 2 Level-1 data:
  starts with "LC09_L1TP_", "LO09_L1TP_", or "LT09_L1TP_" where
    LC - Combined OLI-2 and TIRS-2
    LO - OLI-2 Only
    LT - TIRS-2 Only
  ends with "_T1" or "_T2" for Tier 1 and Tier 2 data products
  opened with *_MTL.txt and uses the IDLcfSvcOpenLandsatGeoTIFFWithMetadata open file service.

Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 data:
  starts with "LC09_L2SP_", "LO09_L2SP_", "LT09_L2SP_" where
    LC - Combined OLI-2 and TIRS-2
    LO - OLI-2 Only
    LT - TIRS-2 Only
  ends with "_T1" or "_T2" for Tier 1 and Tier 2 data products
  opened with *_MTL.txt and uses the IDLcfSvcOpenLandsatCollection open file service.

Landsat C2 U.S. Analysis Ready Data (ARD):
  starts with "LC09_CU" for "Continental US" and "LC09_AK" for "Alaska" and "LC09_HI" for "Hawaii"
  contains some or all of:
    SR - Surface Reflectance
    ST - Surface Temperature
    TOA - Top Of Atmosphere Reflectance/Angles/Brightness Temperature
    QA - Quality layers

 opened with *.xml and uses the IDLcfSvcOpenLandsatCollection open file service.
  note that the schema of this .xml/.json file is new and similar-but-different to the other
  Landsat Collection schema we previously supported.

All three of these examples datasets are from the Eros Data Center's Earth Explorer:

General Landsat-9 information can be found:

https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/satellites/landsat-9/

Note that wavelengths and fwhm values for Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 satellites are now stored in our
"sensor_attributes.json" file located in resource/filterfuncs.

Landsat-8 uses the "SENSOR_TYPE" of "Landsat OLI" and "Landsat TIR".
  note: it should have been "TIRS", not "TIR"
Landsat-9 uses the "SENSOR_TYPE" of "Landsat OLI-2" and "Landsat TIRS-2"

There are filter functions for both OLI-2 and TIRS along with CIRRUS as well.
