fgout and fgmax grids

The directory $GTT/CopalisBeach/example2 contains examples showing how to make fgout and fgmax files during the simulation. Here fg stands for fixed grid and the basic idea is that the user specifies a fixed Cartesian grid (typically in longitude-latitude) on which the results are desired, independent of the structure and resolution of the AMR grids that may be active in the region covering this fixed grid, which will typically be changing with time.

First read Overview of fgout and fgmax for a general introduction to fgout and fgmax grids, and an annotated version of the additions to setrun.py needed to specify these grids.
