Documentation update for CLM and the DART Tutorial

• Improved instructions for the CLM-DART tutorial. #440
• Fixes link within the documentation to a section describing how to
  configure MATLAB's path to use DART MATLAB functions. #442

Automated testing of pull requests

• GitHub actions for pull requests which checkout, compile and run a
  given model.
  Current workflow: lorenz_96 (mpi) and lorenz_63 (no mpi)

contributed by Anderson Chauphan

Bug-fix cam-fv

• Fix for assimilate.csh purge of restart files when the interval for restart saves is given as a string rather than an integer. #435
• Fix for setting ptype when no_normalization_of_scale_heights = .false. #381

Improved clean_nml and CLM quickbuild.sh

• clean_nml tool for comparing input.nmls given optional arguments to keep the original order of nmls and/or entries, and optionally keep namelist comments. #424
• fill_inflation_restart now a default build for CLM. #423

Bug-fix release

• Perfect_model_obs (pmo) fixed for running with MPI and advancing the
  model inside pmo. #418
• MPAS_ATM xtime string padded with blanks for easier bitwise comparison. #414
• lorenz_96_tracer_advection quickbuild.sh fixed. #418

Bug-fix for read_variables

• Per-file check for unlimited dimension before variable read. NetCDF dimension counts adjusted accordingly. Fixes problems when reading from DART created netCDF files, for example, from fill_inflation_restart
• Bug-fix for verbose printing of state_structure info

Bug-fix for obs converter builds and MPAS_ATM perf improvement

• Bug fix for converter builds using the template model_mod.f90 #409
• Performance fix for MPAS_ATM #407

bug fix for perturb_single_instance

A model specific pert_model_copies is now required to run perturb_single_instance.

Previously the program perturb_single_instance would run but not perturb if a model_mod did not provide a pert_model_copies interface.

CAM-SE Manhattan

• CAM-SE interface for Manhattan
• Shared code for CAM-SE and CAM-FV model_mods in cam-common-code
