get_array_extent()

int teca_metadata_util::get_array_extent	(	const teca_metadata &	array_attributes,
		const unsigned long	mesh_extent[6],
		unsigned long	array_extent[6]
	)

Given a collection of array attributes (following the conventions used by the teca_cf_reader) and a mesh extent, compute and return the valid extent of the array. This takes into account 1d and 2d arrays on a 3d mesh. Return zero if successful. The mesh_dims_active key is required, if not found 1 is returned and the array_extent is set to the mesh_extent.
