DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
1) NoahMP snow model had a hard-coded SWE cap (initially 2m, upped to 5m). I just exposed this cap to a user-defined parameter in MPTABLE global parameter section.
2) Fix for energy NAs over large snowpacks due to very small numbers being rounded to 0, so number/number=NA instead of 1. Switched to an if statement.
TESTS CONDUCTED: Tested with NWM-Alaska domain. Limit value change experiments behave as expected. Bug fix also tested with NWM-Alaska.
NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE! Requires updated MPTABLE. Code should crash if new parameter not present.
