Describe the bug
A number of the iotools do not map elevation to altitude as is preferred (see this comment).

For example, _parse_pvgis_tmy_csv and _parse_pvgis_tmy_csv includes elevation as a dict entry and so does _parse_pvgis_tmy_json and surely other PVGIS functions behind the scenes, without necessarily being specified in our code. read_surfrad also returns elevation.

Also, as altitude is the preferred pvlib terminology, it should also be added to the Variables and Symbols list.
