Error checking in put / get statements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We should make sure the shape of any arrays being stored via cvmix_put are the 
same shape as the data type attribute they are being stored in.

Example:

1) This is good, because zt should be size nlev

allocate(depth(5))
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars, 'nlev',     5)
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars,   'zt', depth)

2) This is bad, but results in a seg-fault instead of a clean error

allocate(depth(8))
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars, 'nlev',     5)
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars,   'zt', depth)

3) This is also bad, and I think will also seg-fault... at the very least it 
will do something unexpected

allocate(depth(5))
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars, 'nlev',     8)
cvmix_put(CVMix_vars,   'zt', depth)
