This is a bugfix for the problem reported here #1694. The problem was a division through zero when we try to preserve totals but the glacier has completely disappeared (as described in the issue). I adapted one test and could reproduce and solve the problem. Thanks @bpelto for investigating!

Further, I included here an option for smoothing when merging simulated thickness. This is useful to make the ice thicknesses less pixelated for 3D visualisations. I will add this to the tutorials.

Closes #1694

Thanks @pat-schmitt ! From the doctext I'm not sure why smoothing can only be done when preserving totals is true? Otherwise looks good to me.

I made this choice because the smoothing effect is quite strong. If we don't preserve totals, the resulting smoothed volume will deviate even further from the actual modeled value. However, I could also adjust the approach so that smoothing is applied without preserving totals.

I don't mind too much - best is to keep it easy, so let's stick to this for now. Merge when you are ready!
