Add arguments in the calibration() to enable the removal of various…

… checks (#165)

* add boresight_check in the calibration() to add or remove the boresight angle check before the calibraiton

* add elevation_check, temperature_check in the calibration() to enable remval of these checks

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Add/expand docstrings for new arguments
