Description

If you change the number of history files in the middle of a run (`CONTINUE_RUN=TRUE`), you get this error:
```
ENDRUN: ERROR in histFileMod.F90 at line 4886
ERROR: number of ntapes differs from restart file. You can NOT change history
options on restart.
```

This would be greatly improved by telling the user that they can avoid this by doing a branch run.

There may be similar changed-history-files errors that should also get this improvement.
