Calculate the Richardson stability number in a layer, the equivalent of RICH in GEMPAK.

From GEMPAK Docs:

RICH  Richardson stability number in a layer
      RICH ( V ) = GRAVTY * DZ * LDF (THTA) /
                   (  LAV (THTA) * MAG ( VLDF (V) ) ** 2 )
                   Note: DZ = change in height across the layer.
                   RICH  can be evaluated in PRES, THTA or HGHT
                   vertical coordinate.
