s_compute_fd_gradient's one-sided z derivative at idwbuff(3)%beg
divided by z_cc(beg + 2) - z_cc(is3_viscous%beg). is3_viscous%beg is
idwbuff(3)%beg + 1 there, so the denominator spanned one cell instead
of two and the outermost ghost gradient was doubled on a uniform grid.

Divide by z_cc(beg + 2) - z_cc(beg), matching the x and y stencils.

The 27 3D Viscous tests pass against the existing goldens.
