Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now the data volume might get fairly big since we're not forcing any specific datatypes or bit depths and just relying on the 64-bit python default. We'd like to reduce this to lighten the burden on the SSC and future users, by (optionally) forcing the data types to be 32-bit floats for the image and error extensions, and a 16-bit integer for the DQ extension.

Describe the solution you'd like
In order to keep our options open, let's implement this with a drpconfig keyword that toggles us to force the bit-depth described above. We can leave it as True (i.e. forcing bit-depth) by default.
