CICE reads POP kmt files to determine the land mask. There is also a bathymetry file available, which was created using bathymetry data from NEMO and is currently only used for the basal stress parameterization.
Some ocean models (e.g. MOM6 and NEMO6) have the capability to change the land mask during runtime; for this reason it would be useful to allow CICE's land mask information to arrive via the coupler.
While keeping kmt for backward capability, generalize determination of the land mask to include using bathymetry files and coupling input. Include namelist flags such as the filename, name of input variable on the file, and other control flags such as MASKING_DEPTH and MINIMUM_DEPTH (as used for MOM).
