3.24V - forecast allocation years

For 3.24U and earlier, the forecast.ss entry for fleet allocation groups looked like:

# fleet assignment to allocation group (enter group ID# for each fleet, 0 for not included in an alloc group)
 1 2
#_Conditional on >1 allocation group
.5  .5

Then for 3.24V, a user had a need to this to be year-specific, so the quick fix was to require that the allocation fraction be read for each year of the forecast:

#_Conditional on >1 allocation group
.5  .5  # 2017

.4  .6  # 2018

.4  .6  # 2019

So this breaks the I/O rule for changes and it should have been 3.25 as the release ID.  But only a problem if N forecast years >1 and you use allocation groups.

3.30transition uses the 3.24V approach, so might crash when reading an older forecast.ss file.
