Workspace Method abs_linesReadFromHitran

Description

Read all the lines from HITRAN 2004 and later catalogue file in
the given frequency range. Otherwise a runtime error is thrown.

Records of molecules unknown to ARTS are ignored but a
warning is issued. In particular this happens for CH3OH
(HITRAN molecule number 39) because there is no total internal
partition sum available.

The database must be sorted by increasing frequency!

WWW access of the HITRAN catalogue: http://www.hitran.com/

For data in the Hitran 1986-2001 format use the workspace
method abs_linesReadFromHitranPre2004
