Detailed Description

Download synoptic carrington maps from fetch type WSO_DATE.

Only Photo.latest.txt is downloaded if newer.
From the downloaded file (Fetch level 0 with data format ASCII_WSO_V0), copy it as another file with observing date in the name (Fetch level 1 with same data format) and reformat it as V1 format (Fetch level 2 with data format ASCII_WSO_V1).
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.
