Add firn air content (FAC) and surface mass balance (SMB) to SNOPWACK *.smet output #15

To make analysis easier, it would be nice to have FAC and SMB built into SNOWPACK output. This way we don't have to calculate it ourselves (and possibly screw it up)!

SMB would look something like this (right?)

smet['SMB'] = smet['MS_Snow'] - smet['MS_Wind'] + smet['rainfall'] + smet['sublimation'] + smet['evap'] + smet['runoff']

Firn air content could be calculated by vertically integrating element air content.

Per @nwever smb should be

smet['SMB'] = smet['MS_Snow'] - smet['MS_Wind'] + smet['rainfall'] + smet['sublimation'] + smet['evap'] + smet['runoff']
