Break out vegetation carbon into above and below ground biomass #28

We currently aggregate above and below ground biomass carbon when generating vegetation carbon numbers. This is mainly for speed. But given that the ratio of above to below ground biomass would stay the same across all states of carbon, it may be worth it to use a ratio to break this out.

Before we do this, we would need to check that the ratio is actually the same across all states (mean, median,q1,q3 etc). If that is the case, then we can calculate the ratio in read_veg_carbon.c and use this ratio in proc_ref_veg_carbon.c to do the breakout.
