Viz 2.2.0 Distribution

This release of Viz builds on the design of version 2.1. The operational work flow has been streamlined and related tasks are grouped together. A few new features have been added in preliminary form, the most significant of which is the inclusion of SPICE functionality to make use of planetary ephemerides. In addition, a first cut at generating elevation and slope maps is included in this release.
