Converted time objects to be real128, aka quad precision or 128 bit real. They were originally double precision. Additional changes are conversions to more modern naming convention of real(real128) type instead of double precision. The delta time object is kept as real64 and because NetCDF does not handle 128 bit reals, the writing and reading of NetCDF variables occurs with real64 variables.
Added debug flag -Wconversion to warn when there is implicit truncation during type conversions.
Updated the calendar test to use the newer time object.
ISSUE: Fixes #82
TESTS CONDUCTED: Unit tests, ideal test, calendar test
NOTES: The calendar test runs a great deal slower than the original one but this effect on performance does not seem to effect the ICAR model.
