Remove elevation >= 0 filter from observations api

[emiliom]

See SQL WHERE condition at https://github.com/communitysnowobs/cso-api/blob/master/src/observations/query.js#L17

Having that filter makes it impossible to obtain some of the data in the CSO database and therefore reduces the value of the CSO observations API for QA/QC'ing the CSO database. Also, it assumes the elevation data are perfect, and that no valid data could be associated with negative elevation values generated by the Google Elevation API.

Emilio, we should have a Jan call where we talk about these types of issues. Thank you for looking into it…

Right. I'm going to start compiling the discussions we've had recently about the API's, the CSO database, and so on, to facilitate our discussions on a future call.
