New vegetation friction law in TELEMAC-2D based on Cui et al. (2023)

Description

Implementation in TELEMAC-2D of the friction term for vegetation presented in Cui et al. (2023). The vegetation friction law was implemented in TELEMAC-2D following the methodology presented by Folke et al., 2019 for the vegetation laws already available.
