Incorporate a vertical advection scheme into Aether #127

Description

Addresses #25 Addresses #24 Addresses #14

I have ported the Rusanov vertical solver from GITM into Aether (for the neutrals only at this point). In order to do this, I had to: (1) calculate the time-step; (2) improve the vertical boundary conditions.

Type of change

How Has This Been Tested?

A test is included in the tests/vertical_rusanov directory. This was run on the Mac and on Linux.

Because of the non-uniformity in the post processor, the script has to be edited to point to the right plotter.
