Script to allow plotting MALI output on a sphere in Paraview. This works by replacing x/y/zCell fields and modifying global attributes so Paraview will plot as a spherical mesh. Paraview only uses those 3 fields for plotting. Plotting MALI output on a sphere allows it to be visualized with output from other E3SM components (e.g. MPAS-Ocean).

I placed it in landice/mesh_tools_li because it modifies a mesh, even though we are likely to primarily use it on output files.

Example of plotting ice speed from the MALI 4km AIS mesh on a sphere overlaid on bottom depth from MPAS-Ocean:
