Calculate new temperatures and salinities that have been subject to full convective mixing.

Parameters:

g	The ocean’s grid structure
gv	The ocean’s vertical grid structure
h	Layer thicknesses [H ~> m or kg m-2]
tv	A structure pointing to various thermodynamic variables
t_adj	Adjusted potential temperature [degC].
s_adj	Adjusted salinity [ppt].
p_surf	The pressure at the ocean surface [Pa] (or NULL).
kddt_smooth	A smoothing vertical diffusivity times a timestep [H2 ~> m2 or kg2 m-4].
kddt_convect	A large convecting vertical diffusivity times a timestep [H2 ~> m2 or kg2 m-4].
halo	Halo width over which to compute
