[MITgcm-devel] switching seaice_obcs from legacy to devel

[Menemenlis, Dimitris (3248)]

Jean-Michel, I confirm that there is only sufficient OBCS records for 10 time steps.
What I will do is reduce the test duration to 6 time steps.
This is sufficient for what is being tested and it avoids making input files bigger.
This is also what we did in 2008, when the 2+2 test was introduced.

The reason for not changing time-interval is that the test is supposed to
reproduce as exactly as possible a subdomain of lab_sea/input.salt_plume
as a way to test and improve seaice obcs.
There is a matlab script seaice_obcs/input/compare_lab_sea.m
which does this comparison.
Also for longer test integrations, longer open boundary input files
can be generated using seaice_obcs/input/mk_input.m

Sorry for breaking so many things with changes yesterday.
I notice that I also broke the lab_sea ad experiments and that
you fixed them this morning.  Thanks!
