Description

PSyclone doesn't currently support the output of scalar variables from a field. The related PSyclone issue for this is issue [#1818](https://github.com/stfc/PSyclone/issues/1818).

With this addressed, this would allow the removal of the PSyKAl-lite routine: `invoke_getvalue` found in `components/science/source/psy/sci_psykal_light_mod`. This is currently called by `lfric/components/science/source/algorithm/sci_field_to_scalar_alg_mod.x90`.

Research direction

Start with the related PSyclone issue #1818 to understand the required scalar-output support. Then inspect invoke_getvalue in components/science/source/psy/sci_psykal_light_mod and its call from lfric/components/science/source/algorithm/sci_field_to_scalar_alg_mod.x90. Done means the supported output path works and invoke_getvalue can be removed.
