Write restart file using XIOS

Description

Context

XIOS offers a parallel interface to write the data. This interface can be used to write restart file

Analysis

In NEMO each processor independently writes restart file. As long as model decomposition stays the same this offers an efficient way to write restart. With increasing number of processors this method may be inefficient and put stress on the file system because of the large number of small files opened at the same time. By default XIOS is used to write diagnostic from the model. The same interface may be used to write restart file. The interface would be an addition to the existing functionality, activated through the namelist.

First working version of the code committed branches/UKMO/dev_r7573_xios_write: https://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/nemo/browser/branches/UKMO/dev_r7573_xios_write.

Regarding restart file, the file is open one time step before the time to write. And on this time step all calls to write subroutines are executed, followed by exactly the same calls on the next time step. In the code in the branch restart is set active on time step on which the restart is written to a file.

Restart write is protected with 'if' statement so data is written only 1 time.

For some reason AGRIF compilation fails when 'unit=' is present in call to one of XIOS functions (CALL xios_set_axis_attr( ... )). Information about units for vertical grid is set in "long name" value.
