Vertical Location of Upper Wall Load (Bug 2107)

The bottom of generated wind area loads on the upper portion of walls was not midway up the wall, instead midway plus ½ the floor depth. This created a higher z-value used for the evaluation of the exposure coefficient and the topographic factor. The effect was conservative and small, creating wind loads at most 3% too heavy.
