We are reverting commit e48b7f7e. I think I did not really appreciate
then that the number of days since 1950-1-1 is another date index. It
is clearer to use just one date index, which is in the dbf files. So,
in effect, we replace everywhere the old 0-based date index k by `k -
d_init`. Note that we no longer need argument `d_init` for procedure
`dispatch_snapshot` and we no longer need to write `d_init` to file
`node_id_param.json`. Note also that the value of every node index
changes by the amount `d_init * e_overestim`.
