Implement an idealized coupled ice-ocean column model with SlabSeaIceModel #17

This example is an important step towards three-dimensional coupling. We'll sort out passing the latent heat from the ocean model to the ice in freezing or ice-covered areas, and passing the excess latent heat from the ice into the ocean when the ice disappears.

This task can be broken up into a few subtasks which I propose we complete in one PR:

  1. thermally coupled ice-ocean simulation
  2. thermally and salinity-coupled ice-ocean simulation
  3. mechanically, thermally, and salinity coupled ice-ocean simulation

Once the third is finished then we have a viable coupled setup.
