Description

Continuing discussion from PR #433 in `bld/namelist_files/namelist_defaults_cam.xml` and 9/28/21 AME SE meeting. There are namelist default settings which, depending on the application weather vs climate, will be set conversely. For example, `scale_dry_air_mass` will be set to scale during climate simulations, but will not be set for weather predictions, which start from a reanalysis, like GFS output.

A few names for this compset:

* `FWEATHER` - But FW is already in use?
* `Weather` - Straight and too the point..
* `Finitalize` - I'm not a big fan of this, as it doesn't seem to be associated with a 'weather' compset. Users might think its again running climate initialization
* `WFweather` - WF = Weather Forecasting. This could later be extended in `WFnudging` or `WFda` for weather runs with data analysis.
* Others?

Which components would the 'base' weather compset need to be coupled too? If any?
