In the original implementation, the neutral direction was calculated based on density referenced to the local
pressure. This PR introduces a new capability for the neutral diffusion code tracers can be diffused along isopycnal directions referenced to a specified pressure.

The behavior is toggled by the runtime parameter NDIFF_REF_PRES which specifies a reference pressure in Pascals. If NDIFF_REF_PRES < 0 (the default is set to -1), diffusion is along locally referenced potential density- the original behavior. If NDIFF_REF_PRES >= 0., diffusion is along isopycnals referenced to the specified pressure in Pascals.

This PR was branched off #553.
