New TopoFlow glacier energy balance component #13

PR Description:

Data to run the Sagehen Creek synthetic test case is located in the glacier Google Drive folder we share (I think it may have been too large to push to GitHub).

Thanks for taking a look Naoki. In response to your question, the answer is yes. This component does both snow and ice energy balance and melt, so it is intended for use in areas that are glaciated, but in theory could still run the snow routines if initialized without any ice. But it is maybe more likely that the user would just use the existing snow component in this case, though this PR includes some adjustments to the snow routines (e.g. cold content calculations).

This look great, Lauren. Sorry for the delay in merging. Looking forward to your next PR. :)
