Updates to ozone forcing
This micro version introduces an updated treatment to the ozone forcing, which allows for a dependence on N2O concentrations, and a temperature-dependent ozone feedback (this was previously included with the stevenson
treatment, but has now been simplified to be a linear function of temperature). The new treatment follows CMIP6 and AerChemMIP experiments:

Thornhill et al., accepted: https://acp.copernicus.org/preprints/acp-2019-1207/
Skeie et al., 2020: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41612-020-00131-0
Default coefficients that link the emissions to the CMIP6 model forcing in Skeie et al. are provided. In fair_scm()
use tropO3_forcing=thornhill-skeie
to use the new treatment.
Ozone forcing is not split into tropospheric and stratospheric components. For ease of communication with existing versions of FaIR, we maintain the forcing column indices, but all ozone forcing is put into the tropospheric bin (index 4 in 13-species FaIR, or index 31 in 45-species FaIR).
