Add getting and converting ERA5 ml analyses to MPAS ICs

[ibanos90]

Description

This PR adds the capability to get and convert ERA5 model level analyses to MPAS format. It relies on era5_to_int code to get the ERA5 ml data on GDEX and the NetCDF files to WPS intermediate. Then, mpas_init is run to create the MPAS init files. A new scenario is added to test this functionality.

Consider adding the following to Build/py around line 176

self._set('era5_to_int', 'era5_to_int.py')
self._set('era5_to_intBuildDir', '/glade/campaign/mmm/parc/ivette/pandac/converters/era5_to_int')

then change setenv myCommand `$era5_to_int ${datestr}` to

ln -sf $era5_to_intBuildDir/ecmwf_coeffs .
setenv myCommand `$era5_to_intBuildDir/$era5_to_int ${datestr}`

Then you can remove era5_to_int from tools.csh and remove the files from the era5_to_int repository.

And clone https://github.com/NCAR/era5_to_int to /glade/campaign/mmm/parc/ivette/pandac/converters/era5_to_int
