FMS history output includes time bounds metadata both in CF standard and non-standard conventions.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Most standard Netcdf tools respect the CF standard time bounds but not the FMS time bounds, so it would make FMS output more usable to omit the non-standard time bounds.
Additional context
We previewed doing this at the MI meeting on 2024-02-14 and there were no protests.

The CF standard time bounds are:
And the non-standard, duplicated, time bounds are:
Describe the solution you'd like The
average_(T1|T2|DT)
variables should not be included in modern diag manager history output.(FRE-NCtools needs two corresponding updates tracked in https://github.com/NOAA-GFDL/FRE-NCtools/issues/273 and https://github.com/NOAA-GFDL/FRE-NCtools/issues/274.
