TYPE: new feature
KEYWORDS: IO Files, Namelist Validation
SOURCE: Soren Rasmussen, NCAR
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: New subroutine checks if output and restart file paths are writeable. When the namelist is read, the existence of the directories where the output and restart files are being written to is checked. If they do not exist the routine will report error then, rather than throwing an error later when the NetCDF library tries to write to the file.
TESTS CONDUCTED: Checked that the subroutine functioned correctly for the following input file strings
