Increase max patches and nocomp PFTs per landuse for pasture and rangeland from one to two

[ckoven]

When I was running global historical simulations, I had noticed that in some edge cases, with only a single nocomp PFT for landuse types pasture and rangeland, there could sometimes be more biomass per area on those land use types than on primary. I realized that this was because there were some gridcells where it would actually make all the area in those land uses forest. Upping the max number of nocomp PFTs, and correspondingly, patches to two each removed that behavior. So I did that on my simulations but hadn't in the default file. I suggest we do that in the default file as well.

@ckoven gave me the background on the email discussion about this. Looks straightforward.

Regression testing on derecho underway

All expected tests pass B4B against fates-sci.1.91.1_api.43.1.0-ctsm5.4.026. Note that the failing FatesColdHydro test is per ESCOMP/CTSM#3798 and hasn't yet been added to the expected failure list.

Straight forward, those extra patches are needed.
