generalization of the soil layers #58

I still haven't figured out the good way to deal with those three soil states (smc,slc,stc) in the IC/RESTART and in the model. They use the same variables name but with the different vertical dimension. I tried to use soil_moisture_vol_ic, soil_liquid_vol_ic, and temperature_soil_ic for IC. But it didn't work. So my plan is to keep the original name for IC and use other names for the model, like temperature_soil_mp.

The variable name should be the same for reading/writing restart files. So probably I should work for coldstart case only.
