Warning in run_LWFB90() if `soil` is a tibble

[valentingar]

If soil is a tibble() without the soil$rootden column, run_LWFB90() returns a warning.

This is because tibble() is stricter with missing columns than data.frame() and warns if you want to select $ a missing column. chk_soil() tries to call soil$rootden, leading to this warning.

Since many people probably use dplyr to create the soil data.frame(), it could be a good idea to handle this case to prevent some confusion. One possibility could be to coerce to a data.frame(). #6bada7230c3c11fcb4195879c0ce94c063db8c14
