Improve the NET SALT Budget table in diags.log

[gustavo-marques]

The values in the table do not have enough precision to provide useful information. Here is an example:

Possible solution is to write these values using exponential format (e.g., -3.8234056 E-8).

@gustavo-marques can you recommend a short test case to look at this?

[gustavo-marques]

A test using --res f09_t061 --compset B1850MOM

and with

STOP_N: 1
STOP_OPTION: months

Should be enough to test this.

[jedwards4b]

I wonder if it would be better to change the units from kg/m2s to Gg/m2s ( 10^9) or Mg/m2s (10^6) ?

[jedwards4b]

How does this look?

Looks great. Thanks, Jim! I think we should keep kg/m2s.
