Throughout the code we currently refer to the variable M_planet. However, in some cases this is used as the total planet mass, and in other cases as the mass of the interior (i.e. everything enclosed by the atmosphere-mantle interface).
We should use two variables to describe this: M_planet and M_int, where M_planet = M_int + M_atm, where M_int is the mass of the interior and M_atm is the mass of the atmosphere.
We will need to think about how to handle volatile mass partitioning. Should the mass of the interior decrease with outgassing? Do we provide SPIDER/ARAGOG with the dry or wet mantle mass? Or do we assume that volatile do not contribute to M_int? We could leave this for a next step.
If we do allow M_int to decrease with outgassing, then how does SPIDER handle that? Handling this properly will require a structure model, I think.
