RnPbBe budget table benchmark code assumes initial restart is run resolution #318

Description of your issue or question

I am generating benchmark tables comparing GC-Classic 4x5 with GC-Classic 2x2.5. It fails in the RnPbBe budget table code because it retrieves area and tropopause level from the State_Met collection which is at the model run grid resolution. The 2x2.5 run, however, uses a 4x5 initial restart file.

I am working on a fix for this and will submit a PR soon.

Note that this is not an issue for GCHP because GCHP initial restarts are required to be on the grid at which the model will be run.
