This pull request implements a more realistic root water extraction profile. Water extraction is now distributed across the entire root zone according to a user-defined extraction pattern. Although this pattern was already defined in previous versions, it was not effectively applied; instead, water uptake occurred in a largely sequential manner, progressing from surface to deeper soil compartments.

All V73 pull requests have been merged into a single version of the Fortran-based AquaCrop code. The outputs were verified against the Delphi-based standalone version that is the current engine of the AquaCrop GUI, with no differences observed in outputs.
