[MITgcm-devel] moving useOBCSYearlyFields to data.exf

Hi Martin and others,

I am going to move "useOBCSYearlyFields" from OBCS.h to EXF_PARAM.h
and read from data.exf (namelist EXF_NML_OBCS) instead of from data.obcs.

Reason: useOBCSYearlyFields only has some effect/meaning when using EXF,
and all the EXF+OBCS parameters are hold in EXF_PARAM.h + read from 
namelist EXF_NML_OBCS.

I think it would not only make the code cleaner (no need for OBCS.h
in exf_init_fixed.F) but also easier to use, since useOBCSYearlyFields 
would be specified in the same namelist as other time-related 
OBCS+EXF params (with, e.g., obcsXstartdate, obcsXperiod ...)

Is there something that I am missing that would make this change
problematic ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
