Vertical coordinates and bathymetry

Overview: Introduce terrain following coordinates to resolve the benthic boundary layer and maintain resolution in shallow water. Resolved drag may also be important for tidal model performance.

Plans: Hybrid Z-S following ORCHESTRA.
Re-visit bathymetry in shallow water (noting ORCA025 minimum depth).

Involved: Harle, Barton?

Funding: CLASS, ORCHESTRA
