Detailed Description

Download and reformat euv171 from fetch type SOHO_EIT_171_CR1.

Only files newer than a minimum date (default -Infinity) are downloaded.
Download remote files if not already present locally.
From the downloaded file (Fetch level 0 with data format FITS_SOHOEIT_V0) and create a user-friendly symbolic link (Fetch level 1 with the same data format).
Do it if not already present locally or if not the most recent.
Add in SW Database the new downloaded or formatted files.
Important: After running this script, one must call update_database routine. Indeed, if this program fails before updating the database then the folder will have files not followed by the database.
