Added ability to geographically subset at the 'makedaily.sh' stage.
Improved error handling in the python scripts thanks to Romain Escudier.
Avoid recreating existing AVISO files, rename the output files only
if the output file was succesfully created.

The run_convert_aviso.csh script had an implicit need for an existing
input.nml, that need is now explicit.

Documentation updated.
