Description

The snow density is used for all frozen precip types in the current operational GFS. With this assumption the density for sleet or freezing rain is too small and the snow depth is overestimated in this situation. This fix will give the different density to snow, graupel, and freezing rain in the Noah LSM driver.

The fix will change the result.

@junwang-noaa I have created a ufs-weather-model PR. We don't have any other changes needed besides those under gfsphysics. But I still got a conflict I need to address for that PR.
