Add ability for registry to specify input (IC) file variable names for constituents #259

Closed nusbaume closed 3 months ago

nusbaume commented 3 months ago

Add the ability for the registry to specify the possible variable names for constituents on an input or Initial Conditions (IC) file in CAM-SIMA. This should eliminate the need for an IC file to have only standard names for each variable, as long as the variable has the possible names listed in the registry.

Also, the inputnames_to_stdnames.py script and associated stdnames_to_inputnames_dictionary.xml file have now been moved to a new tools directory, as they should no longer be required for running CAM-SIMA (but could still potentially be useful for other situations).

Finally, changes were made to remove the unused config variable from the registry generator, as pylint found that it wasn't actually being used for anything.

Fixes #255
