PR Summary

Sci/Tech Reviewer:
Code Reviewer:

This PR adds more functionality to the existing Jules application:

• Construct the application as a 1x1x1 domain
• Add code & xml to read and apply atmospheric forcing from an external netcdf file
• Add initialisation of surface characteristics to the namelist (rather than being hard-wired in the code)
• Update the example application to run a forced case at Cardington
• Add some protection to bits of code which don't always need to be executed, for example the transport settings in check_configuration only need to be checked if transport is actually going to be used

Further documentation is available at https://wwwspice/~ian.boutle/julesdoc/user_guide/applications/applications_directory/jules.html
