[MITgcm-support] diagnostics read and write pickups

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Dan,

I think the diagnostics pickup implementation has never been fully completed and tested.
Then the remaining pieces in pkg/diagnostics have evolved, so now it's more work
to pick it up where it was left.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

Im not using MNC.
