This PR adds minimal unit handling to nwm_client. This is an incremental improvement that includes some housekeeping. Future enhancements will unify the gcp and http interfaces similar to nwm_client_new, and transition from google-cloud-storage to fsspec libraries.

@aaraney may be interested.

Additions

• unit_system parameter. Setting this parameter to "US" will convert dataframe values returned by get to cubic feet per second and update measurement_unit to "ft^3/s".
• UnitHandler class with methods to convert units.

Removals

• The old deprecated gcp_client has been removed.

Changes

• The gcp target for pip has been removed and google-cloud-storage is brought in automatically.

Testing

1. Value conversions are tested in test_units.py
2. pandas.Series conversions are tested in test_gcp.py

Notes

• Closes Investigate unit of measurement handling #137
• Link to Add method to transform units returned by gcp_client and nwis_client #113

Todos

• Unify gcp and http interfaces.
