Incorrect authorship/copyright of some ropp_pp MSIS routines

Description

User Stig Syndergaard (DMI) has pointed out that

ropp_pp/msis_bangle/ropp_pp_bangle_MSIS.f90

and

ropp_pp/msis_bangle/ropp_pp_refrac_MSIS.f90

have been attributed to Michael Gorbunov, instead of him.

He has also pointed out that

ropp_pp/msis_bangle/ropp_pp_read_MSIS.f90

and

ropp_pp/msis_bangle/ropp_pp_MSIS.f90

have been attributed to Michael Gorbunov, instead of Met Office.

These mistakes appear to have come from the decision to attribute all ropp_pp code to Michael Gorbunov - because ropp_pp is largely derived from his OCC code.

We have apologised to Stig, and corrected the above routines, as well as the ropp_pp trunk AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT files. Since these changes are only to comments, we hope to sneak these into ROPP5 before its imminent release.

Ian - I've reviewed your changes and confirm that these are ok, and in particular that the changes in (F90) code are restricted to comments and do not in anyway affect compiled code and therefore need not be regression tested. /Dave
