Adds range-resolved pencil-beam radar observation elements.

For every frequency in freq_grid, one observation element is appended for every interval in range_bins. The ordering is frequency first and range bin second, matching the ARTS2 yRadar convention. All generated elements share their frequency and position/LOS grids. The matching limits are appended to radar_range_limits, and measurement_sensor_meta receives one range grid per frequency.

The receiving polarization is a Stokes dot-product vector. For example, [0.5, 0.5, 0, 0] is the old ARTS polarization index 5 (vertical linear).
