Writes a ‘molecular_tau_file’ as required for libRadtran.

The libRadtran (www.libradtran.org) radiative transfer package is a comprehensive package for various applications, it can be used to compute radiances, irradiances, actinic fluxes, … for the solar and the thermal spectral ranges. Absorption is usually treated using k-distributions or other parameterizations. For calculations with high spectral resolution it requires absorption coefficients from an external line-by-line model. Using this method, arts generates a file that can be used by libRadtran (option molecular_tau_file).
