Description:
This change improves how we calculate vegetation temperature during phenology. The previous method included bare ground patches in the mean. Bare ground temperatures are initialized with the column/site level air temperature, but those values are not as representative of using only patch level vegetation temperatures. This new method filters in only temperatures from patches with vegetation, and uses the canopy area as the weighting factor, instead of total patch area.
This should precede #1226

Expectation of Answer Changes:
Yes, this should change answers, at least for tests that are long enough to trigger phenology events.
