Change OCN2GLC_TF_SMAPNAME files to include extrapolation
Both Greenland meshes currently have issues that cause problems when using OCN2GLC_TF_SMAPNAME mapping files that don't have extrapolation. For the gis4to40 mesh, there is an "inland sea" region that does not get valid ocean thermal forcing, leading to MALI errors in facemelting. Here, I've switched the map file to one that includes extrapolation to work around this issue. The inland sea problem is being fixed in a different PR, and after that is merged, this map file can be switched back to the version without extrapolation, so that the bathymetry-aware extrapolation inside of MALI can be used instead. The gis1to10kmR2 mesh has a different problem - the ocean "gutter" is too narrow and only overlaps the IcoswISC30E3r5 grid in a few places. Switching to a OCN2GLC_TF_SMAPNAME mapping file that includes extrapolation similarly works around this problem. A more thorough solution will require creating a new high-res GIS mesh with a larger gutter.
