MALI topography as well as masks for land ice, floating ice and ocean get combined with BedMachine Antarctica/GEBCO.

This is based off of #807 (which is based off of #813) so it will be a bit before this is ready to go in. It also needs documentation.

Comparison with SOwISC12to30E3r3

Here are the landIceMask fields for the SORRM mesh with MALI topography: mali_topo_land_ice_mask

And the same but with BedMachine from #807: sowiscr3_land_ice_mask

Updated Comparison with SOwISC12to30E3r3

Here are the landIceMask fields for the SORRM mesh with MALI (AIS_2to10km) topography: sorrm_ais_2to10km_land_ice_mask

And the same but with BedMachine from #807: sorrm_r3_land_ice_mask

I was able to run the workflow through the performance test. In a discussion with @cbegeman, @matthewhoffman and @trhille, we decided we'd like to work with a 4km initial condition that's more similar to the 2km one I used in the plots above, and that that initial condition would also be swapped into https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/pull/6440, the PR bringing in the new MALI AIS meshes and initial conditions.
