Handling of provenance attributes in apply-mask and add-depth, especi…

…ally for testing (#930)

* Ensure chanA & chanB in frequency_differencing are set to string. In apply_mask, specify in docstring that an Sv variable is expected and in _variable_prov_attrs test for dask array in addition to xr array

* Modify test_mask::test_apply_mask to ignore attributes in the dataarray comparison

* In test_consolidate::test_add_depth, comment out check-attributes test

* Move _variable_prov_attrs in mask.api.apy out of apply_mask, for clarity. Also remove testing for dask array type in that function, for consistency with apply_mask
