Allow for user-configurable physical constants #225

For planetary atmospheres other than Earth's, physical constants like the gravitational acceleration and the planetary radius will be different. To accommodate results from simulations of these atmospheres, aospy will need a mechanism to allow users to set these constants themselves (rather than have them be hard-coded to Earth's values).

This is a particular example of the broader issue of supporting user-specified config, c.f. #145. But I think it's worth having this separate issue to track this, as #145 is pretty open ended.

Right, I see #145 as more global configuration-type stuff; this is likely to vary from Run to Run or Model to Model, so it might require a different approach.
