CABLE radiation pathway

cable_rad_main -> cable_rad_driver -> init_radiation
cable_rad_main -> cable_rad_driver -> albedo

albedo() was formerly named surface_albedo()

init_radiation() computes the effective extinction coefficients from the raw extinction co-efficients and several components the are used throughout calculations in both init_radiation() and albedo().

In addition, init_radiation() and albedo() share several variables previously declared as radiation "type" (rad%). These were then inadvertently imported to most CABLE routines where they were in fact never used.

init_radiation() also computes the beam fraction of SW radiation in NIR and VIS bands. This calculation however is not necessary at this stage of the model, i.e. in the radiation/albedo pathway.
