Add Support for CWOP about wundergroundstationforwarder

http://www.wxqa.com/faq.html is supposed to be the documentation, but I found https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=36181.0 way more helpful

I believe that something like this would create the packet:

/**
 * Given an object with weather station conditions, assemble an APRS packet.
 * Thanks to https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=36181.0
 * @param {object} Object with keys callsign, latitude, longitude, software, JS Date of observation time, winddir, windspeed, windgust, precipRate, precipTotal, pressure, humidity, luminosity
 * @returns {string} APRS packet representation of the conditions
 */
function createAPRSPacket_(conditions) {

  if (!conditions.callsign || !conditions.latitude || !conditions.longitude || !conditions.software) {
    throw "Missing required parameters. Make sure your object includes at least `callsign`, `latitude`, `longitude`, and `software` keys.";
  }

  if (!conditions.time) {
    console.warn('No `time` parameter specified. Using current time...');
    conditions.time = new Date();
  }
  let time = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(conditions.time), 'UTC', 'd').padStart(2, 0) + Utilities.formatDate(new Date(conditions.time), 'UTC', 'H').padStart(2, 0) + Utilities.formatDate(new Date(conditions.time), 'UTC', 'm').padStart(2, 0);

  let lat = conditions.latitude;
  if (lat < 0) {
    lat = Math.abs(lat);
    lat = Math.floor(lat).toString().padStart(2, 0) + (Math.round(60 * parseFloat(lat % 1)*100)/100).toFixed(2).toString().padStart(2, 0) + 'S';
  } else {
    lat = Math.floor(lat).toString().padStart(2, 0) + (Math.round(60 * parseFloat(lat % 1)*100)/100).toFixed(2).toString().padStart(2, 0) + 'N';
  }

  let long = conditions.longitude;
  if (long < 0) {
    long = Math.abs(long);
    long = Math.floor(long).toString().padStart(3, 0) + (Math.round(60 * parseFloat(long % 1)*100)/100).toFixed(2).toString().padStart(2, 0) + 'W';

  }
  
  let winddir;
  if (conditions.winddir) {
    winddir = conditions.winddir.toString().padStart(3, 0);

  }

  let temp;
  if (conditions.temp) {
    if (conditions.temp >= 0) {
      temp = Math.round(conditions.temp).toString().padStart(3, 0);
    } else {
      temp = '-' + Number(~~(conditions.temp)).toString().padStart(2, 0);
    }
  } else {
    temp = '...';

Now, trying to figure out how to connect to CWOP via Apps Script

function updateCWOP_() {
  
  let station = JSON.parse(CacheService.getScriptCache().get('conditions'));

  let conditions = {};

This is now supported! Read more about this in the v2.2.0 release notes and at cwop.rest.
