What happened?

When we plot BUFR SYNOP data and enable the present weather plotting as symbols a lot of BUFR present weather code values are not appearing on the map. E.g. 124 (=snow) is not plotted.

The reason for this is the fact that BUFR uses different present weather codes than the traditional SYNOP reports and the mapping MAGICS uses between the two is incomplete. This mapping is defined in ObsItemFamily.cc and e.g. 124 is missing from it.

The full list of BUFR present weather codes are available at: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/ECC/WMO%3D42+code-flag+table#WMO=42codeflagtable-CL_20

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?
