Workspace Variable scat_meta

Structure for the scattering meta data.

This variable holds the scattering meta data for a single particle.
This data is needed for particle size distribution calculations.

Currently "area_projected" is not used by ARTS, but was included for 
future extensions of pnd calculations in ARTS.

Usage: Set by the user.
