Ashlands update

• expand_locations.yaml has new fields. These are not used by old locations so old data should work.
• expand_locations.yaml has some removed locations. Check warnings and clean it up.
• expand_vegetation.yaml has new fields. These are not used by old vegetation so old data should work.
• expand_environment.yaml should no longer have Ashrain. Remove it.
