DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: Removed options/code related to AFWA hail forecasting, and added a new hailcast physics diagnostics option. Turning this on produces output for mean hail diameter (HAILCAST_DIAM_MEAN) and a standard deviation at each grid point (HAILCAST_DIAM_STD).

TESTS CONDUCTED: Verified that this compiles, verified that the 2 diagnostics are output in wrfout* files, and look okay (with a severe storm outbreak day in Oklahoma) - 2 ncview plots attached. Having the hailcast option activated adds 28 seconds of run-time to a 30 hour, 27/9/3 resolution domain. This was tested with Intel 15.0.1, using 32 processors. Regression tests pass.
