FATES/CLM param R files [WIP]

[bailsofhay]

These are the 2 R parameter files to run CLM or fates for PEcAn.

Description

I changed Shawns original write_params-clm.R file so that there are 2 files: 1) is write_params-clm.R, which only deals with CLM parameter variables, and 2) write_params-fates.R, which only deals with FATES parameter variables. Both R files use the same general parameter variable name for consistency, but call the specific model parameter name. e.g. Ratio of new fine root : new leaf carbon allocations is "froot_leaf", while the specific clm and fates variable name is froot_leaf and fates_allom_l2fr, respectively.

Motivation and Context

We're trying to get the CLM coupled with PEcAn!!!!

There needs to be discussion about additional variables/parameters that we would like to add to these scripts for future CLM/FATES work, but for now these are the most important variables as stated in : https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XWb7DmmOuvRAOEDviBt-x2uCUWIRDASZA2T9u_fbY0/edit#

@serbinsh I'd like to help get this either merged or closed -- can you advise what's needed to do that and whose attention it requires?

@infotroph I would shelve this - I dont think its relevant anymore given how stale all this work is now.
