Description

The PSyKAl-lite function `invoke_prolong_scalar_linear_kernel_type` exists in LFRic apps `science/gungho/source/psy/psykal_lite_mod`, and is called by `science/gungho/source/algorithm/core_dynamics/intermesh_mappings_alg_mod.x90`.

This PSyKAl-lite function was initially needed because PSyclone didn't support intergrid kernels with stencil access (see [PSyclone #1983](https://github.com/stfc/PSyclone/issues/1983)). This issue seems to now be closed and potentially resolved so the PSyKAl-lite code might be able to be removed.

Research direction

Start by reading the PSyKAl-lite function in science/gungho/source/psy/psykal_lite_mod and its call in science/gungho/source/algorithm/core_dynamics/intermesh_mappings_alg_mod.x90. Check PSyclone #1983 to confirm whether intergrid kernels with stencil access are supported now. Done means confirming whether the workaround can be removed and identifying all affected references.
