Swc loc depths

[burlingamet]

adding unique code for enviroscan to blend together multiple PR tables to get an accurate calculation for depth in the sensor_positions file. requires asset install information, calibration information and geolocation information to determine positions over time. Required because the positions of individual sensors are not stored in the named location database.

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR adds an EnviroSCAN-specific “position history” pipeline so sensor_positions.csv can include accurate per-sensor depth/position history over time (even when positions aren’t stored directly in the named-location DB), by generating per-CFGLOC history JSON and optionally consuming it during monthly publish output generation.

Changes:

• Add concH2oSoilSalinity_position_history_loader to build per-CFGLOC enviroscan *_history.json files from installs, calibrations (CVALD1), and geolocation history.
• Update pub_files sensor positions generation to optionally prefer loader-emitted history JSONs via POSITION_HISTORY_PATH.
• Add new data_access queries/types supporting enviroscan install/calibration/configured-VER lookups, plus CI workflow to build/push the new loader image.
