Nodal modulation

This commit fixes a few (potential) inconsistencies between open boundary tidal forcing and astronomical tidal forcing. 1. There was an inconsistency in the code that the nodal modulation can be calculated in OBC tidal forcing but not in the astronomical tidal forcing. This commit fixes this bug so that nodal modulation is applied to both forcings. 2. In the previous version of MOM_open_boundary.F90, a different set of tidal parameters can be set for open boundary tidal forcing, leading to potential inconsistency with astronomical tidal forcing. This commit obsoletes those for open boundary tidal forcing. 3. Another important bug fix is that the equilibrium phase is added to the SAL term, which was missing in the original code.
