Remove hc_jday and replace with "compute_days_between" for HYCOM forc…

…ing (CICE-Consortium#597)

* Remove hc_jday. Not used anymore after introducing of new ice_calendar

* Calculate "hc_jday" inline using compute_days_between and _init fields from ice_calendar

* Correct hcdate using "compute_days_between"

* Remove unused variables from ice_calendar
