Consider rewriting TPH_TDRY in terms of Reichler's algorithm

Description

The ROPP7.0 beta reviewer, Torsten Schmidt, prefers Reichler's algorithm (based on pressure) to, er, Schmidt's algorithm (based on height).

Reichler's algorithm is already implemented for TPH_TEMP, so shouldn't be too hard if we can calculate the pressure. Surely dry pressure is good enough here, and assuming linear fall in T between levels we can estimate pdry easily as long as press_sfc (a lev2c field) is available.

Reichler's algorithm is certainly simpler than Schmidt's, so this is a good idea.

This was in fact done for ROPP7.0.

Closing ticket.
