Enhancements

• Include an example library of aospy objects that works out-of-the-box with the provided example main script (155). By Spencer Clark and Spencer Hill.
• Improve examples page of the documentation by using this new example object library (164). By Spencer Hill.
• Improve readability/usability of the included example script aospy_main.py for submitting aospy calculations by moving all internal logic into new automate.py module (155). By Spencer Clark and Spencer Hill.
• Enable user to specify whether or not to write output to .tar files (in addition to the standard output). Also document an error that occurs when writing output to .tar files for sufficiently old versions of tar (including the version that ships standard on MacOS), and print a warning when errors are caught during the 'tar' call (160). By Spencer Hill.

Bug fixes

• Update packaging specifications such that the example main script and tutorial notebook actually ship with aospy as intended (fixes 149 via 161). By Spencer Hill.
• Use the 'scipy' engine for the xarray.DataArray.to_netcdf call when writing aospy calculation outputs to disk to prevent a bug when trying to re-write to an existing netCDF file (fixes 157 via 160). By Spencer Hill.
