Since the split table is the "true" GASP format I suggest flipping GASP and GASP_ALT table formats

Summary
The current conversion of GASP aero table does not convert real GASP aero tables. I believe the current conversion works on GASP outputs. The real GASP aero tables come from running high fidelity CFD tools and they have a different format.
This PR allows users to convert real GASP aero tables (the CL and CD tables). The file format is flagged as
GASP. The existing aero table format is not the actual GASP aero table format. User still can convert them but it is flagged asGASP_ALTnow.In this case, we assume that
CL = f(Mach, Altitude, Alpha)andCD = f(Mach, Altitude, CL). There is a possibility thatAltitudeis replaced byReynoldsbut we have not implemented this option.In this case, we assume that there are only two tables: CL table and CD table. There is a possibility that a third CD0 table is provided and CD table is actually CDi table. but we have not implemented this option.
Test is done for BWB cruise using table based aero table. There is no low speed aero table test because we don't have aero tables for flaps and ground effect. GASP never has those tables.
