[RegCNET] plv postproc problems

The version on the web doesn't have plv option tested. Both usgs and plv 
options are set to false for now in  postproc.in (and left for later use) - 
This means at the moment, sigma to pressure should not be used. I left this 
option incomplete because of some issues in RegCM output e.g I wanted PS 
(surface pressure) variable in both RAD and CHEM files, which is needed for 
pressure level interpolation - since PS is not there in RAD/CHEM files, I found 
it least useful either to make postprocessing of RAD and CHEM dependent on the 
presenece of ATM files (for reading PS form there) or to let this option 
working for ATM only. Moreover, there are very easy few lines scripts in 
ferret/ncl which could do  this sigma to pressure interpolation. 

However, if you think that its still useful to have at least ATM files working 
with  plv option, I can test the code for that.
