Basal hydrology scheme, new basal friction and inversion options ESCOMP/CISM PR#61

This PR includes three main lines of effort:
(1) updates to the slab test
(2) a steady-state flux routing basal hydrology scheme
(3) various basal friction and inversion options to support Antarctic ice sheet experiments

The slab test is as described in Section 3.4 of Robinson et al. (TC, 2022). It was used in that paper
to test the stability of various solvers (SIA, SSA, DIVA, L1L2) in the simple case of an infinite slab
of ice flowing down an inclined plane. Various test parameters can be specified when launching
the run script. See the README file for details.

The hydrology scheme is based on the idea that all water input at the bed is conservatively routed down
the hydraulic gradient until it reaches the ice margin. Steady state means that for each grid cell, the
water output is equal to the input. Water can be routed to one downstream neighbor (D8), two neighbors
(Dinf), or all downstream neighbors (FD8). The scheme uses the efficient algorithm of Planchon & Darboux
(2001) to fill depressions. It is fully parallel, unlike the similar scheme in old Glimmer. The scheme
has been tested for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets; more testing and tuning will follow.

The basal friction and inversion changes include the following:

- support for the Zoet-Iverson basal friction law
- an option to invert for Cc (aka Coulomb_c) in basal friction laws that have a Cc term, including ZI and pseudo-plastic. Previous inversions were for Cp (aka powerlaw_c) only.
- an option to apply an observation-based dH/dt field to floating ice during spin-up. This allows the ice to reach a spun-up steady-state and then to thin at observed rates during the subsequent forward run. This option was used for ISMIP6 Antarctica 2300 experiments. A similar option was used in the paper by van den Akker et al. (TC, 2024).
- an option to include a relaxation term when inverting for Cp and Cc, in addition to the terms proportional to (H - Hobs) and dH/dt. This term reduces clumping of Cc and Cp around their max and min values.
- new options for computing effective pressure, including an option to be used with the new hydrology scheme
- an option to invert locally for deltaT_ocn
- an option to invert for basin-scale flow factors
- an optional velocity target for Cp and Cc inversion
- an option to apply a time scale to mask-based calving
Results from this branch were compared to main for several standard test cases.
Using LIVVkit (with several dome, ISMIP-HOM, shelf, and stream tests), all tests pass. The stream test requires a config file change.
MISMIP+ results are also BFB, with several config file changes.
DIVA dome tests are not quite BFB, but agree within machine roundoff. I think this is acceptable, given the large number of changes on this branch.
