Pre-check all parameters for grow_macroalgae()
check_grow.RdCheck that all parameters, inputs and settings are correct for the grow_macroalgae() function. Gives a report on what needs to be included. This is to avoid the main function slowing down to give endless warnings and messages.

)Arguments
- start
numeric, start of the growth period (day of at-sea deployment). Defaults to 1.
- grow_days
integer, number of day in growing period - if missing will take the length of the temperature vector
- temperature
a vector of daily temperatures (C)
- salinity
a vector of daily salt concentrations (g L-1)
- light
a vector of surface light (umol m-2 s-1)
- velocity
a vector of water velocities (m s-1)
- nitrate
a vector of nitrate concentrations (mg m-3)
- ammonium
a vector of ammonium concentrations (mg m-3)
- other_N
a vector of other nitrogen concentrations (mg N m-3) - NOT IN USE
- site_params
a named vector of species-specific parameters - see details
- spec_params
a named vector of site-specific parameters - see details
- initials
a named vector of the macroalgae starting conditions
- sparse_output
logical, whether to include input vectors and other non-essential information in final dataframe (default = TRUE)
- track_limiting
logical, whether to track a single "limiting" factor (see details)
- other_constants
a named vector of miscellaneous constants (see u_c)
- kd
a vector of light attenuation parameters (m-1)
