Vorticity Budget Calculation Terms

[ealucy]

What should we add?

It would be super useful to have a function that calculates a local vorticity budget in height coordinates, and then individual functions that calculate each term (advection in x,y,z; stretching/divergence, tilting, solenoidal). It's a little tedious to do these calculations individually using vector_derivative and geospatial_gradient. Would love to see that implemented sometime!

Not sure when we'll get to this, so we welcome community contributions on this.

@ealucy Since this is a little broad, it would be really helpful to see an example set of functional calls for what you'd expect this to look like.
