obsolete "caps" flag ?

Description

"caps" is a boolean used in callphys.def with the following description : 

# WATER: current permanent caps at both poles. True IS RECOMMENDED
#        (with .true., North cap is a source of water and South pole
#         is a cold trap)

When using the GCM to compute paleoclimatic simulations we need to release temperature constraint on the south pole grid cell and we want to change the location of northern surface water reservoirs.

However when setting flag to false the entire water cycle goes nuts !

"caps" flag is not needed when setting the location of watercaptag in surfini.F. r2741 removes the corresponding IF in surfini.F and leaves "caps" only used in co2condens to compute an additional surface temperature tendency.
