neptune effect need some reconding

Description

Looking at the neptune effect rotuine I noticed that even if I do not use the neptune effect parameterizzation in the routine dyn_nept_init a lot of computations are done, in addition there is some memory allocation (not needed if neptune is not used), and in the standard output confusing messages are printed:
"dyn_nept_init : Simplified Neptune module enabled".
I think that the *init should read only the namelist and make some checks if necessary, allocations and computations should be somewhere else in the code (like all the other module we have in the code). I've seen that this routine is the same in the new release.

I agree this is poorly done but its not quite as bad as it seems at first glance. The arrays are allocated unnecessarily but no work is done if ln_neptsimp is false due to the return statement:

      IF( ln_neptsimp ) THEN
          IF(lwp) WRITE(numout,*) ' -->   ln_neptsimp enabled, solving for U-UN'
      ELSE
          IF(lwp) WRITE(numout,*) ' -->   ln_neptsimp disabled'
          RETURN
      ENDIF

I'll move the allocation below this and correct the misleading output to ocean.output

Fixed on both the 2012/dev_MERGE_2012 branch and the trunk in preparation for the 3.4.1 consolidation.
