This PR adds content across the docs, providing instruction on how to configure sensor choices for each instrument.

Also adds another docs page which has the master table of all sensors available for each instrument, which is referenced in the tutorials/assignments.

Finally, adds a test which ensures that the documentation is consistent with the code, i.e. that any instrument/sensor combination in the code is in the docs too.

Closes #334

Is there a difference between "Physical" and "Physics"?

Use the same text as the field description as in the Copernicus marine data for each sensor?
