Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Accept vic3 format alias for melting

The melt command documents vic3 as a valid --format value, but only the v3 extension alias parsed successfully. This made explicit Vic3 melting fail before the save file was read.

Keep v3 working and accept vic3 so the documented option reaches the existing Vic3 melter.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Accept vic3 format alias for watch

The watch command help documents vic3 as a valid --format value, but the parser only accepted the v3 file extension spelling.

Accept the documented alias while keeping v3 extension inference unchanged.
