[PULL REQUEST] Added support for driving GEOS-Chem with native GEOS meteorological files

[LiamBindle]

There are two changes included in this PR:

1. Set IsLand, IsSnow, IsWater, and IsIce flags based on FRLAND, FRSNO, FRLANDIC, FRLAKE, FROCEAN, and FRSEAICE.
2. Added METEOROLOGY_VERTICAL_INDEX_IS_TOP_DOWN switch to GCHP.rc. Set this flag to .true. if you want to flip all 3D meteorological fields at import-time.

This PR is ready for review.

These are all straightforward changes. We can get this into 13.4.0.

[yantosca]

I have merged these updates on top of 13.4.0-alpha.9 and stored them in a temporary branch: feature/native-met-fields, so that we can do integration testing & benchmarking.

I still need to review this.

[yantosca]

No worries, just queueing up the runs before the holiday.

All GC-Classic integration tests passed.

It doesn't look like this logger is used in this update. Is it needed?

[yantosca]

@lizziel, @LiamBindle: Is it OK if I merge this PR and we can fix this later?

The GEOS-Chem Classic benchmark for this update (tagged as 13.4.0-alpha.10) is now ready:

There are also small changes near the poles due to removing albedo as a proxy for snow/ice.
