This pull request updates the radar geographic latitude and longitude locations in the hardware files based on commercial-grade satellite imagery from the Polar Geospatial Center, all of which have received PI approval (see SuperDARN/hdw#7). Information is also included for the 6 new mid-latitude radars constructed by NSSC: LJE, LJW, SZE, SZW, HJE, HJW
Note the SYE and SYS locations have not been modified because PI approval for those radars is still pending. Also note the precision of a subset of radars has been kept to the original 2 or 3 decimal places at that PI's request.
Finally, a fix is included for the WAL radar which was operating with only 16 beams (centered about boresight) for a ~20 month interval from 2022-2023. This means that any previously geolocated data from the WAL radar for this period will be incorrect.
