[CF-metadata] Adding sensor_elevation_angle to standard_name

I would like to add sensor_elevation_angle to complement the existing sensor_azimuth_angle in the standard_name table.

proposed standard_name = sensor_elevation_angle

proposed canonical units = degree

proposed definition = sensor_elevation_angle is the angle measured in the vertical plane between the line of sight of the sensor and a horizontal plane perpendicular to local zenith. This angle is measured starting from the horizontal plane directly in front of sensor. The angle is positive above the horizontal plane, and negative below the horizontal plane. Local zenith is directly overhead. A standard name also exists for sensor_view_angle and sensor_zenith_angle.

Thanks,

Ken
