Test for correct structure in a sensor object

The sensor is checked for the 'sensor' class name and presence of core metadata columns:

• ID -- Purple Air ID

• label -- location label

• sensorType -- PurpleAir sensor type

• longitude -- decimal degrees E

• latitude -- decimal degrees N

• timezone -- Olson timezone

• countryCode -- ISO 3166-1 alpha-2

• stateCode -- ISO 3166-2 alpha-2

• pwfsl_closestDistance -- distance in meters from an official monitor

• pwfsl_closestMonitorID -- identifer for the nearest official monitor

The "pwfsl", official, monitors are obtained from the USFS AirFire site using the PWFSLSmoke R package.
