Description

• add variable_id back to catalog query
• refine fieldlist lookup table search for 4D field base names only to ensure unique entries for standard_name are returned. The variable_id for a single level is then inferred from the scalar_coords attribute in the pod settings file as before.
• fix definition of ds_names list in xr_parser reconcile_names
• fix bad entries in GFDL field table
• comment out $refs in gfdl field table variables block as current configuration does not handle multiple json $refs in a single block
• Note that the Wheeler-Kiladis POD will not run with the test catalog linked in the associated issue because several standard_name entries are missing for variables--in particular ua200.
  Associated issue cannot access ds_names  #677

How Has This Been Tested?
RHEL 8 with EOF500 hPa POD 1980-1990
