Make a water year date config type #104

It would be great to prescribe a month and day to figure out when certain seasonal items might be applied.

e.g.

start_decay: 04-01 # Assumes the WY end decay: 08-01 # Assumes the WY

This would be beneficial to have to ensure that some albedo decay is happening. Would this mean that there is a default albedo decay or should it still be None? The problem I potentially see is picking the default dates. If a user doesn't set this, then they could be unknowingly turning on decay that isn't representative of what is actually going on.

Originally I was thinking a default date would be used. But I also like leaving it None like filenames to force the user to action.
