Convert pressure to altitude for the troposphere

Please use pressure_to_altitude_icao() for pressures in both the troposphere and stratosphere.

An implementation of equation 40 from ICAO manual [NACA3182]

\[\text{H} = \frac{T_0}{a} \left[ 1 - \left( \frac{P}{P_0} \right)^{1/n} \right]\]

where \(H\) is the geopotential height and is treated as equivalent to altitude for engineering purposes (see [NACA3182] for details).
