Add to config file as a new QC test.

[leppott]

this would be a check for a given day (not a rolling time period).

E.g., max-min for April 12. then Max-min for April 13.

It'd be a simple threshold (like for the spike test...e.g., >5 C diurnal change = S, >8 C diurnal change F.

Tasks:

1. Add thresholds to config.R (and all its variations in the package and shiny app but have a script to do that part).

2. Do the calculation of daily max - daily min and associate with each point.

3. Evaluate each point and assign Pass, Fail, Suspect.

4. Add the new QC check to the overall Flag check for each site.

5. Add the new QC check to the QC Notebook (RMD).
