Added a missing global attribute in ELPP and ELIC product descriptions

 ELIC Products
 -------------
 This section describe the structure of ELIC products.
 ELIC Products: dimensions
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 The following dimensions are defined in ELPP products:
 -  time
 -  level
 -  channel
 -  depolarization
 -  angle
 -  nv
 -  nc
 -  ncal
 The dimension *time* (mandatory) specifies the number of RCS (for each channel)
 composing all the pre-processed time-series reported in the products.
 The dimension *level* (mandatory) represents the number of rangebins characterizing
 the pre-processed RCS.
 The dimension *channel* (mandatory) indicates the number channels at which the RCS
 time-series included in the product refer to.
 The dimension *depolarization* (optional) indicates how many volume depolarization time-series are included in the products.
 The dimension *angle* (mandatory) takes into account how many zenith scan angles have been used to measure the RCS time-series reported into the products.
 The dimension *nv* (mandatory) is ancillary and it is always set to 2.
 The dimension *nc* (optional) is ancillary and provides the number of channels involved in the calculation of RCS or volume depolarization time-series.
 The dimension *ncal* (mandatory) is ancillary and provides the number of optical calibration used to calibrate the current product.
