The GuyanLoadCorrection in SubDyn should be always defined as True for fixed-bottom and floating wind turbines.

In the r-test repo, all the models that include SubDyn are fixed-bottom. For these numerical models, the GuyanLoadCorrection will account for the lever arm distance at the interface joint providing more accurate results.

I guess, the automatic testing check may fail because the results are now different. But the results with GuyanLoadCorrection = True are more accurate.

As far as I know, this GuyanLoadCorrection flag may be removed in the future and left as True internally.
