GOES/Himawari/G2-KA Satellite Support #31

Description

@jacobbieker

Would it be of interest to add support for the other main geostationary satellites? GOES/Himawari/G2-KA all have nearly identical sensors, and are available publicly. Not sure though if this should stick to only EUMETSAT?

Additionally, they are also nearly identical to the MTG sensor on #30. All are 10 minutely, 16 channels, 0.5-2km resolution full disk imagers.

Detailed Description

GOES/Himawair/G2-KA can all be opened with satpy and could be useful to transform to Zarr like the EUMETSAT ones here. Adding support for those three would then also cover the whole globe with the geostationary satellites, which could be helpful.

Possible Implementation

Add a reader for each of those satellites, then use the same transformations as for the EUMETSAT ones, possibly with different normalizations.
