Make landIceDraft diagnostic rather than a forcing variable
This PR changes the default way the sea-surface height gradient is
computed near land ice in MPAS-Ocean for MPAS-SeaIce. In the absence of
land ice, this PR has no effect [BFB]. A new ocean config option,
config_land_ice_draft_mode, determines whether to use the new default
method or the current method:
[BFB] for config_land_ice_draft_mode = 'data', where it preserves the
current method whereby landIceDraft is provided as a forcing variable.
It is applied to the following meshes:
* oQU240wLI
* ECwISC30to60E1r2
* SOwISC12to60E2r4
* ECwISC30to60E2r1
* IcoswISC30E3r5
* FRISwISC08to60E3r1
* FRISwISC04to60E3r1
* FRISwISC02to60E3r1
* FRISwISC01to60E3r1
* RRSwISC6to18E3r5
as well as all meshes without ice shelf cavities
[NCC] for config_land_ice_draft_mode = 'pressure-dependent', which is
the new default whereby landIceDraft is computed from landIcePressure.
The (spatially and temporally) constant ice density to use for this
computation is provided by the new ocean config option
config_land_ice_rho_ocean.
[NML]
Selects the mode in which land-ice draft is computed.

ocean density used to calculate landIceDraft at floatation (assumed constant and uniform). Should be consistent with MALI's config_ocean_density when used to determine grounding line location. This is an alternative to the coupler variable effectiveDensityInLandIce which is not currently used.
