vlsvreader.py: added capability to read_variable() to read on-the-fly data reducers, if the name string includes terms that look like '{variable_name.operator}'
Some comments:
This quick implementation already works remarkably well with other analysator routines---already tested that plot_colormap_3dslice() and and plot_colormap_threeslice() produce the correct plots, with only minor issues in the plot labeling. Also read_interpolated_variable() works with on-the-fly data reducers.
A more robust implementation may require digging into how data reducers work, rather than treating read_variable() as a black box. Lambdas are probably needed to create temporary data reducers.
Also, more secure alternatives to eval() may need to be explored.
