Added limits and default for tower altitude

Browse source 
There are a lot of towers that are at the same altitude as the airport; this is clearly a lack of data. Also there are some towers that are ludicrously high (e.g. KLSV). This commit defines a reasonable minimum and maximum values for tower altitude; together with a default altitude which will be added to the airport elevation when the tower altitude is outside of these ranges (above airpot altitude).
