Wraps ERFA function eraUt1tai. The ERFA documentation is:

Time scale transformation:  Universal Time, UT1, to International
Atomic Time, TAI.

Given:
   ut11,ut12  double    UT1 as a 2-part Julian Date
   dta        double    UT1-TAI in seconds

Returned:
   tai1,tai2  double    TAI as a 2-part Julian Date

Returned (function value):
              int       status:  0 = OK

Notes:

1) ut11+ut12 is Julian Date, apportioned in any convenient way
   between the two arguments, for example where ut11 is the Julian
   Day Number and ut12 is the fraction of a day.  The returned
   tai1,tai2 follow suit.

2) The argument dta, i.e. UT1-TAI, is an observed quantity, and is
   available from IERS tabulations.
