Add wind gusts to parsed METAR data #2075

Description

@dopplershift

Is there a way to output a wind gust value when parsing METARs with metpy.io.parse_metar_file? The documentation only shows output columns for standard wind speed and direction. For example, a METAR with the wind section "12012G18KT" would have a wind gust value of 18 knots.
