v7.32.118 WTNP118 - Gravity rebalancing of column saturation

Summary:

The test presented here makes it possible to verify that gravity has been taken into account correctly for modeling unsaturated flows. This test represents a column that is initially uniformly desaturated. There is no load: only gravity is the driver of evolution.

This test will be the subject of an Alliances test case.
