TYPE: bug fix

KEYWORDS: WRFDA, use_obs_errfac, max_ext_its > 1

SOURCE: Jamie Bresch (NCAR)

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Problem:
CWB reported seeing obs errors keep decreasing with each outerloop.

Solution:
Add a check for outerloop number, so that when use_obs_errfac=true and errfac.dat exists in the working directory, observation error factors are applied only at the first outerloop.

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
M var/da/da_minimisation/da_get_innov_vector.inc

TESTS CONDUCTED:

RELEASE NOTE: Bug fix for WRFDA's incorrectly applying errfac.dat at each outerloop when use_obs_errfac=true and max_ext_its > 1.
