This release contains contributions from Jackie Shuman. Per her pull request:
Within SFMain remove the conditional clause that reduces fire rate of spread for high wind speeds. Within parameter files removed the parameter for fire_wind_max that triggers the conditional.
This showed an improvement in mode simulated fire behavior in past work (Lasslop et al 2014), but current research demonstrates there is not a clear link between high winds and a reducing effect on rate of spread. Andela et al 2018 ESSDD https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2018-89
This PR acts to remove this Lasslop et al (2014) reducing effect, and revert back to original Thonicke ROS wind effect.
