Description
### What is the feature/what would you like to discuss?
The proposal here is to update the MSIS empirical model used for WACCM upper boundary conditions with NRLMSIS 2.1. This has a Fortran90 interface which is more supported in CESM/CAM than the Fortran77 interface in `msise00.F90`, in addition to scientific updates.
