NSRDB Surface Albedo values are changed for 2019 files #1091

Description

@cwhanse

The function iotools.get_psm3 is tested by retrieving 5-min data for the year 2019. The values on 2019-01-01 are compared to a copy of data from the NSRDB stored in pvlib\data\test_psm3_2019_5min.csv.

The surface albedo values being returned by NSRDB now are different than in the stored copy. This appears to be the only difference between NSRDB-served values and the stored file.

See the failed test for #1085 where the expected surface albedo is 0.87, the returned values vary but are around 0.45.

I suggest we comment out checking the albedo in the psm3 test for now.
