[Mitgcm-support] pkg/exf and pkg/seaice

[mitgcm-support at dev.mitgcm.org]

Tom and Curt, I have checked-in a version of pkg/seaice that
works with pkg/exf (tag release1_p10 on branch release1, and
tag checkpoint47f_post on the main branch).
The sea-ice code can be:

   1) integrated in stand-alone mode as before,

   2) receive atmospheric state from pkg/exf and use
      pkg/seaice open-water bulk formulae,

   3) receive both atmospheric state and open-water
      surface flux estimates from pkg/exf.

Options 1) and 2) are fully tested and give identical results.
Option 3) appears to produce sensible-looking results, but it
remains experimental and I would use it with caution.
Experiments 1, 8, and 9 in the verification/lab_sea/README file
are example-configurations for each of the three options.
