Changes to radiation #1627

@kmdeck

Description

@kmdeck

This issue details a number of topically related changes to how we compute/store radiative fluxes.

  • Split SW and LW computations up. This enables us to compute SW explicitly for all components, LW snow and soil explicitly, and LW canopy implicitly. This then enables us to track conservation in the model because it is clear when cache variables are updated each step.
  • Align sign convention for LW_n and SW_n for the canopy, snow, soil, bucket
  • Have the bucket compute LW_u and SW_u and store them (for the coupler)
  • Have the bucket compute LW_n and SW_n for itself (right now the coupler computes it)
  • update the coupled bucket tutorial and test

Completing the above would close a number of issues:
#662
#1106
#777
#1500
#1605
