Changed the rescaling of 6 ice shelf variables to cancel out common conversion factors that appear in several expressions. The C_basal_friction argument to initialize_ice_C_basal_friction is now in partially rescaled units, reflecting the portion that does not cancel out fractional-power units from a power law fit with an arbitrary power. The C_basal_friction array in ice_shelf_dyn_CS and the C_friction variable in initialize_ice_C_basal_friction were similarly rescaled. There are new scale factors in a get_param_call and a MOM_read_data call and a conversion factor in register_restart_field call that reflect these changes. The KE_tot and mass_tot variables in write_ice_shelf_energy, are kept in scaled units until they are written. The internal variable fN in calc_shelf_taub is kept in scaled units, but there is now a scaling factor of US%Z_to_L in the expression for fB. This latter could be folded into the CF_Max element of ice_shelf_dyn_CS, but I am unsure whether this would be physically sensible. All answers should be bitwise identical and no output should change, but this has not been extensively tested yet.
