Vector rules fns

Providing the first of the "vectorised rules" functions.  Nothing uses the vector features yet.

Some tasks remain :

* Need to ensure these changes don't impact load speeds adversely.
* We still need to write  the "other" vector coordinate functions -- at least the vector height code before we can really take advantage of this.
At first glance, I don't see any special extra complication with that, so hopefully it is a straightforward development from what we have here.

The main test for this "test__convert_vector_time_coords.py" is pretty messy.
The mechanics are largely tested by the separate tests for the support routines, but the main routine needs "something":  I can't quite get my head around testing "only" the relevant parts of it's behaviour, separate from the "generic vectorised function", so some of the testing effectively duplicates the lower-level functions testing, even though they have their own tests.

> TBH I think that should preferably be fixed, but I think it is out of scope here and it's simpler to just go along with it for now.

> BTW I'm not sure the rules can currently handle multidimensional coords properly either, so possibly we may get to fix this when we implement the actual vectorise code.

Agreed
