Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
GITM doesn't have horizontal conduction, but it should be important as we go to higher resolutions.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create file called neutrals_energy_conduction.cpp and implement in there. In the vertical direction the conduction is calculated in a implicit time-stepping scheme, but that is complicated in the horizontal direction, since the solution is global. Therefore, this will need to be an explicit time-stepping scheme. Maybe we will need subcycling. Not sure. Will need a horizontal gradient calculator.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just try it out and see if it works.

Additional context
GITM doesn't have this, but could look at the vertical equations and take from there.
