Added the new module MOM_temperature_convert, which contains the elemental functions poTemp_to_consTemp and consTemp_to_poTemp to convert potential temperature to conservative temperature and the reverse. These routines are mathematically equivalent to the TEOS-10 functions gsw_ct_from_pt and gsw_pt_from_ct, but with some refactoring and added parentheses to help ensure identical answers across compilers or levels of optimization. Also added the new subroutines pot_temp_to_cons_temp and prac_saln_to_abs_saln, and added the new optional argument use_TEOS to convert_temp_salt_for_TEOS10, and cons_temp_to_pot_temp and abs_saln_to_prac_saln. The equivalency between the new code and their gsw_ counterparts is demonstrated in new tests in the new function test_TS_conversion_consistency, which in turn is called from EOS_unit_tests. All answers are mathematically equivalent, but because of the choice to use the new code by default there could be changes at the level of roundoff in some cases that use conservative temperature as their state variable but initialize it from potential temperature. There are not any such cases yet in the MOM6-examples test suite, nor are there believed to be any such MOM6 configurations that are widely used. This commit introduces a new module and several new functions or subroutines with public interfaces.
