New output diagnostic for spectral dynamics that calculates the total column integrated humidity directly in the model code. Output is in units of kg/m^2, which can easily be converted to a depth by dividing through by the density of the liquid phase. I have sanity checked values with a Earth-like run.

This was originally developed to check conservation of liquid in model but decided it would be a useful diagnostic to make available.

Trip tests pass successfully:
