Extend phase-change model (without convection) for phase-dependent heat capacity and thermal conductivity; note that we already have this for convection-coupled phase-change #36

Right now we assume constant thermal conductivity and constant heat capacity. For water-ice, these vary significantly between the solid and liquid phases.

This worked very well for convection-coupled phase-change, so the code can be taken from there.
