Patch release containing:

Compliance Checker 4.2.1

Addresses comments on #628 (making the climatology checks more accurate) and re-formats the HTML output to go along with the new grouping routine adopted in the prior release.

Compliance Checker 4.2.0

Reformatted ACDD output to include more informative, less repetitive error messages. Functional changes from pull request #624 include enhanced grouping for "grouped checks" (e.g. Global Attributes), which condenses the results into fewer lines and more appropriate sections (other checks will also be able to leverage this new formatting improvement, not just the ACDD checks).
