reconcile with dev-access-esm1.6 - interface code

[JhanSrbinovsky]

CABLE

Description

Reconcile developments in ESM1.6 with CABLE:main

There are changes across utilities since directories as well BUT here it is only those in coupled/ that are considered.

Post shuffling these files around to facilitate building a library. What happens to them is irrelevant really.

These modified and added files are from dev-access-esm1.6.

Testing

• Are the changes bitwise-compatible with the main branch? If working on an optional feature, are the results bitwise-compatible when this feature is off? If yes, copy benchcab output showing successful completion of the bitwise compatibility tests or equivalent results below this line.

So - I haven't actually done the testing BUT considering none of these fits are even in the build they cant impact anything

Good to go once you fixed the conflict with the snow aging stuff. Ian put some changes directly in CABLE repo for the ESM1.6 so needs to make sure what we need to see at the end. There are some commented lines that would be best to remove instead of using comments.

h no - the message was deleted - I think the conflict was in cbm. merging should show up any difference.
