[CF-metadata] Standard name for radial velocity

[Stephens, A (Ag)]

Dear all,

After much discussion the best agreement we can come up with for a standard
name for the instrument-measured quantity of radial velocity is:

  'radial_velocity_of_scatterers_away_from_instrument'  (m s^-1)

This defines the velocity in terms of how it is being measured (instrument),
what it being measured (scatterers) and the direction it is travelling
(away_from). This suits the purposes of those working with it.

Can this be added to the list (please ;-).
