bad old info in floats.in documentation

Description (last modified by arango)

Investigation of the step_floats.F code lead me to write some time ago:

! T Float trajectory type ! (0: neutral 3D Lagrangian, 1:isobaric, 2: isopycnal)

I'm actually not sure that's what's going on though. In any case, the documentation in the floats.in file for float type needs to be revisited.

Actually, the distributed code is correct and has something like:

!   T      Float trajectory type (1: neutral 3D Lagrangian, 2:isobaric)

Perhaps, you skipped updating these file. Nowadays, Ftype=1 for neutral density 3D Lagrangian floats and Ftype=2 for isobaric (constant depth) floats. All the logic in step_floats.F follows this logic.

I did, however, updated the documentation of Ftype in mod_floats.F.
