@grantfirl @mkavulich This is at the point now where you can start reviewing/commenting/lamenting.
@dustinswales Another question, are we going to maintain the differences in the *_typedefs* files between SCM and FV3 (at least until you test in the UFS)?

Not sure what's the best way forward? What do we do about SCM specific stuff in GFS_typedefs and CCPP_typedefs, moreso GFS_typedefs? This can be used in the UFS, but I'd like to see some people use it successfully in the SCM first.
@dustinswales In input_GFS_v17_p8.nml, there is a parameter do_ccpp_suite_sim, but I don't see it documented. This looks like it is used by ccpp_suite_simulator.F90 and GFS_ccpp_suite_sim_pre.F90. Does this also need to exits and be turned on in the namelist?

@hertneky Another good catch! I updated the documentation, see section 7.2.5.
@mkavulich This is ready to merge. Can you approve?
This PR adds a new functionality, a physics process scheme simulator, to the CCPP-physics.
Data-driven tendencies can be used to drive process schemes (e.g. PBL, Deep-Convection, etc..). The control over which schemes are used are set in a new physics namelist, scm_data_nml. These data tendencies are read in during the CCPP initialization stage, and applied during the _run stage, if requested by the nml. There are new interstitial variables for the data tendencies.
To use this feature on the host-model side the Suite Definition File (SDF) needs to be modified to include the ccpp_scheme_simulator scheme, and GFS_ccpp_scheme_sim_pre.
There are examples included that exercise this new tool. Documentation will follow.
