Description:
For WIEMIP (and maybe other projects) we need to output carbon in roots and carbon flux from roots to litter. In FATES we don't output coarse root carbon or coarse root carbon turnover. Since aboveground biomass fraction can vary by PFT, the only way to post-process these variables from sapwood and structural history variables is to output everything on PFT dimensions which is expensive. This PR adds these variables as FATES history variables.

Test Results:
Running a short 5 year test to look at outputs now.

Here's croot:
And sapwood and structural carbon for comparison (different scales). Croot should be around 0.4 - 0.2 x the sum of these.
