This PR adds a new BMI function, get_grid_coordinate_units, that allows a BMI user to get the units of each grid coordinate.

The function is patterned on the existing get_var_units function, which accepts a variable name as a string and returns the units of the variable as a string. For get_grid_coordinate_units, the input name is a coordinate: currently "x", "y", or "z", but this could be extended as BMI is extended to handle more dimensions (see #88).

This change is part of the BMI 2.1 Milestone. The BMI version has been incremented to v2.1-beta.

This fixes #87. See #90 (comment) for some discussion on this new function.

@mcflugen This PR is updated according to our discussion in December. Let me know what you think.

Also, would you prefer this be merged into experimental instead of master?
