Snapshot tapes now carry lat_rad and lon_rad, the column latitude and
longitude in radians as the physics grid hands them to parameterizations,
on both the before and after tapes. The history coordinates lat and lon
are in degrees, and converting them back to radians in CAM-SIMA differs
from CAM's values by one ulp at some columns (44 of 486 at ne3pg3), which
seeds answer differences in every latitude-dependent scheme tested
through FPHYStest. The CAM-SIMA null dycore prefers these fields when
present.

Answer impact: none (two new diagnostic fields on snapshot tapes only).
