The title above should be a 1 line short summary of the pull request (i.e. what the project the PR represents is intended to do).

Enter a description of this PR. This should include why this PR was created, and what it does.
This PR adds monthly climatology for leaf area index to the static information in core_init_atmosphere.
It also introduces separate alarms for updating three surface variables: albedo, lai and greenness, in core_atmosphere.
The alarms will be created only if config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update /= 'none'. The default values for these flags is 24 hours.

Testing and relations to other Pull Requests should be added as subsequent comments.

See the below examples for more information.

MPAS-Dev/MPAS#931

core_init_atmosphere/mpas_init_atm_static.F added horizontal
interpolation of the monthly climatological LAI.
	- replaced config_sfc_albedo with config_albedo_update  (this
name is more descriptive of its meaning)
	- added config_lai_update
	- added new variable lai12m: monthly climatology for leaf area
index
	- use separate alarms for albedo, lai and greenness updating,
          controlled by config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update
        - set alarms only if config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update
          are not equal to 'none'
        - instead of one physics_update_surface call to
          physics_update_surface_albedo, physics_update_surface_lai and
          physics_update_surface_greeness. This is needed because of some
          specifics for each variable.
	instead of one physics_update_surface do three subroutines:
        physics_update_surface_albedo, physics_update_surface_lai and
        physics_update_surface_gvf
