Make S and P wave speed user provided parameter in BCs
Currently either ComputeIsotropicElasticityTensorSoil or ComputeISoilStress computes the wave speed within the soil domain and the same value is used at the boundary. In this method, the user has to create a separate elastic layer with bedrock material properties in order to set the wave speeds at the base of a nonlinear soil column to bedrock wave speeds.
To avoid this extra meshing effort, it is better for the user to provide the wave speeds for the SeismicForce and NonReflectingBC than using the values computed in either the linear or nonlinear soil.
