WRFv4.4 crashes upon LSM initialization when NLCD40 landuse dataset is used because of the VEGPARM tables settings.

TYPE: bug fix

KEYWORDS: VEGPARM.TBL, NLCD40, LCZ_1, NUDAP

SOURCE: Robert Gilliam, US EPA

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Problem:
WRFv4.4 crashes when reading the VEGPARM.TBL file because of the the LCZ_* specs at the end of the main NLCD40 table entries.

Solution:
We just copied the values used for MODIS since the NLCD40 is a blend of US NLCD and MODIS.

ISSUE: For use when this PR closes an issue.
Fixes wrf-model#123

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: VEGPARM.TBL

TESTS CONDUCTED:

  1. Yes. We ran a full 2018 simulation at 12 km CONUS and 108 km N. Hemisphere scales and verified this works.
  2. NA (I think)

RELEASE NOTE: VEGPARM.TBL updated for NLCD40 landuse case to work with recent updates of the LSM initialization that reads the file.
