======== IMPLEMENTATION OF THERMALS ============
================================================
Author: A. Colaitis (2011-06-16)
The main goal of this revision is to start including the thermals into the model
for development purposes. Users should not use the thermals yet, as
several major configuration changes still need to be done.
This version includes :
- updraft and downdraft parametrizations
- velocity in the thermal, including drag
- plume height analysis
- closure equation
- updraft transport of heat, tracers and momentum
- downdraft transport of heat
This model should not be used without upcoming developments, namely :
- downdraft transport of tracers and momentum
- updraft & downdraft transport of q2 (tke)
- revision of vdif_kc to compute q2 for non-stratified cases
Thermals could also include in a later revision :
- momentum loss during transport (horizontal drag)
Compilation of the thermals has been successfully tested on ifort, gfortran and pgf90

================================================
M libf/phymars/callkeys.h
M libf/phymars/inifis.F
Added new control flags to call the thermals :
- calltherm (false by default) <- to call thermals
- outptherm (false by default) <- to output thermal-related diagnostics (for dev purposes)
================================================
M libf/phymars/vdifc.F
------> added a temporary output for thermal-related diagnostics
M libf/phymars/testphys1d.F
------> added treatment for a initialization from a profile of neutral gas (ar)
-> will be transformed in a decaying tracer for thermal diagnostics
M libf/phymars/physiq.F
------> added a section to call the thermals
-> changed the call to convadj
-> added thermal-related outputs for diagnostics
M libf/phymars/convadj.F
------> takes now into account the height of thermals to execute convective adjustment
=> note : convective adjustment needs to be activated when using thermals, in case of a
second instable layer above the thermals
================================================
A libf/phymars/calltherm_interface.F90
------> Interface between physiq.F and the thermals
A libf/phymars/calltherm_mars.F90
------> Routine running the sub-timestep of the thermals
A libf/phymars/thermcell_main_mars.F90
------> Main thermals routine specific to Martian physics
A libf/phymars/thermcell_dqupdown.F90
------> Thermals subroutine computing transport of quantities by updrafts and downdrafts
A libf/phymars/thermcell.F90
------> Module including parameters from the Earth to Mars importation. Will disappear in future dev
