Workspace Method ScatSpeciesInit

Description

Initializes the scattering species related data variables.

This method initializes the scat_species WSV, the variables that
will hold the raw optical properties and the raw particle number
distributions of the scattering elements (scat_data_raw and
pnd_field_raw, respectively) as well as the one holding the meta
information about the scattering elements (scat_meta).

This method has to be executed before WSM reading/adding to the
said variable, e.g. before ScatSpeciesPndAndScatAdd.
