Construct lookup table radiance <-> BT

To convert a channel radiance to a brightness temperature, applying the (inverse) Planck function is not correct, because the Planck function applies to monochromatic radiances only. Instead, to convert from radiance (in W m^-2 sr^-1 Hz^-1) to brightness temperature, we use a lookup table. This lookup table is constructed by considering blackbodies at a range of temperatures, then calculating the channel radiance. This table can then be used to get a mapping from radiance to brightness temperature.

This method does not return anything, but fill self.lookup_table.
