The majority of the changes in this PR are to re-index some arrays in the mass-flux component. Variables at the interface are indexed from kts to kte+1 where kts is the surface. Variables at the mass layers are kts to kte. Before this PR, some of these arrays were used inconsistently. The inconsistencies were known, so it did cause a problem, but it always bothered me. After the cleanup, the results are practically identical, as expected. It can not be bit-for-bit identical due to some vertical interpolations.
There is one additional change to the temperature tendency calculation, which should have a small impact, but it may impact upper-level RH enough to deserve system testing in advance of HWT. MPAS-Dev2 testing shows very small impacts overall from this modification.
A second part of this PR includes a TKE-dependent lateral entrainment for the mass-flux scheme. This seemingly has a small impact over land, but significantly improves the mass-flux activity over water. Changes to CONUS stats are expected to be very minor.
