In nc_utils, the read_nc_site_metadata function is currently set up to handle both JSON and TOML site info files. We want to deprecate the JSON support and enforce that the TOML file properly represents release lag as an integer. I can't do that yet, because it requires too many changes to other parts of the TCCON data pipeline. However, once the metadata portal is updated to produce TOML files, we should remove support for JSON site info files and the "helper" function that deals with release_lag possibly being a string.
