Land BCs defaults for remap_restarts and GEOSgcm v12 #131

Today, I was doing some remaps with GEOSgcm v12 and noticed something: Getting the v13 BCs was "hard".

That is, currently the questionary ask/presents for Land BCs.

? Select boundary conditions (BCs) version of input restarts:


 BCs version      | ADAS tags            | GCM tags typically used with BCs version
 -----------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------
 GM4: Ganymed-4_0 | 5_12_2 ... 5_16_5    | Ganymed-4_0      ... Heracles-5_4_p3
 ICA: Icarus      | 5_17_0 ... 5_24_0_p1 | Icarus, Jason    ... 10.18
 NL3: Icarus-NLv3 | 5_25_1 ... present   | Icarus_NL, 10.19 ... present
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Other: Additional choices used in model or DAS development.

for the land BCs.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure GEOSgcm v12 will default to the v13 BCs...and those are under Other:

? Select BCs version for new restarts:
 Other
? Select BCs version for new restarts:



          v06:     NL3 + JPL veg height + PEATMAP + MODIS snow alb

          v11:     NL3 + JPL veg height + PEATMAP + MODIS snow alb v2

          v12:     NL3 + JPL veg height + PEATMAP + MODIS snow alb v2 + Argentina peatland fix

          v13:     NL3 + JPL veg height + PEATMAP + MODIS snow alb v2 + Argentina peatland fix + mean land elevation fix

 v13
?

So, to me, the "main" question should be something like:

? Select boundary conditions (BCs) version of input restarts:


 BCs version      | ADAS tags            | GCM tags typically used with BCs version
 -----------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------
 ICA: Icarus      | 5_17_0 ... 5_24_0_p1 | Icarus, Jason    ... 10.18
 NL3: Icarus-NLv3 | 5_25_1 ... present   | Icarus_NL, 10.19 ... 11.7
 v13: v13         | future               | 12.0             ... present
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Other: Additional choices used in model or DAS development.

where GM4 is now in other and maybe even the ICA should be shoved into Other? At this point I've never used v12 with anything but NL3 and v13. And the default choice should be v13 I think.
