RFM Flags: Use "closure" foreign broadening coefficients in the H2O Continuum model

03SEP26
Enabled
Use v4.3 MT CKD Continuum Model with "closure" foreign broadening coefficients

Disabled
Use regular v4.3 MT CKD Continuum Model with regular foreign broadening.

Restrictions
Requires CTM Flag to be enabled, but neither C32 Flag nor C41 Flag enabled.

Notes
  1. v4.3 of the MT CKD continuum (https://github.com/AER-RC/MT_CKD_H2O/releases/tag/4.3) has an alternative set of foreign (as opposed to self, ie H2O) broadening coefficients, described (in the netCDF file) as:
    Starting with v4.2 an alternative foreign continuum was released that attains radiative closure with AERI measurements from 780-1250 cm-1 due to its presumed inclusion of the radiative effect of aerosols, as described in https://essopenarchive.org/users/558968/articles/843302-a-more-transparent-infrared-window (JGR-Atmos, in review)
