remove cohort variables "lai" and "laimemory" #541

Description

@rgknox

The cohort variables lai and laimemory have become obsolete. LAI memory used to hold the LAI on deciduous trees as their leaves fell, however with the new allometry routines, we don't really need to remember this (I think?). My understanding is that we can re-flush leaves based on the target leaf mass for the size of the plant, and that laimemory does not provide any special information. @rosiealice, can you confirm this?

The cohort variable "lai" is barely used, and can be derived from cohort variable treelai, crown area and the patch area. It looks like its just taking up memory.
