[CF-metadata] longitude wrapping creates non-monotonic coordinate values

Dear John

I agree with you and Steve, and that is the approach I too have taken in
analysis software. "Monotonic" means the numbers must uniformly increase or
decrease, and some of them will have to be wrapped round to achieve this.
The CF checker should give an error for the file as it stands, because
monotonicity is a requirement in section 5 of
http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/conformance/requirements-and-recommendations/1.4/

Best wishes

Jonathan
