Various wave updates: Reformat WW3 inputs; enable PIO for wave restarts; enable WW3 cycling; synchronize UFS restart writes; add uglo_15km WW3 grid

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

Description

This PR adds the following:

• converting from inp -> nml (@sbanihash)
• turning on PIO for waves for restarts (@sbanihash)
• enabling cycling for WW3 which required some updates to wave prep jobs + changing what restarts are being saved/etc
• changed the way CEMPS, MOM6, CICE and WW3 write restarts to be in sync with FV3 for IAU, which required moving the ufs-weather-model forward one hash to use the new flexible restart feature. (UFS PR Flexible restart write times (restart_fh) for med, ocn, ice, wav ufs-community/ufs-weather-model#2419)
• adds uglo_15km - the targeted new wave grid.
• Update to use new esmf_threading ufs.configure files which changes the toggle between how you use esmf threading versus traditional threading (UFS PR Sync with ESCOMP/CDEPS (2024-12-16) + Add support for traditional threading (#2533) ufs-community/ufs-weather-model#2538)

Change characteristics

• Is this a breaking change (a change in existing functionality)? NO
• Does this change require a documentation update? YES/NO
• Does this change require an update to any of the following submodules? YES (If YES, please add a link to any PRs that are pending.)
  • EMC verif-global
  • GDAS
  • GFS-utils

How has this been tested?

Tests were done by adding waves to C48mx500 3DVar tests for cycling.
High resolution tests cases were also added.

This likely needs a new round of testing before CI and after staged ICs & new fix files are added.

Looking at the recent updates from the ufs-weather-model, I did a second pass on this PR.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need further clarification

[aerorahul]

Thanks for the cleanup. A few suggestions to make the distinction between binary and netcdf restarts explicit.

[aerorahul]

looks good to me.
We can set the labels to test if you are ready for it.

looks good to me. We can set the labels to test if you are ready for it.

fix files are still needed and I'm working to stage high-res ICs. Running a last test or two before I'm ready to pass off the fix files. Also - as soon as #3188 is merged, there will be conflicts to resolve.
