Workspace Method surfaceBlackbody

Description

Creates variables to mimic a blackbody surface.

This method sets up surface_los, surface_rmatrix and
surface_emission for surface_rtprop_agenda. Here, surface_los
and surface_rmatrix are set to be empty, and surface_emission
to hold blackbody radiation for a temperature of surface_skin_t.
