Baseline validation is failing (on Chicoma) because we still need #694.

I can't get ESMF_RegridWeightGen to work on Perlmutter with Intel. It may be an issue specific to how we use that tool because ESMF does testing on Perlmutter including with Intel on a regular basis and they haven't had an issue. I don't want this update ot be held up any longer by this issue, though. I will try to see how much we can move to mbtempest and that may be a solution in the future. In the meantime, Intel will remain unsupported on Perlmutter :-(

This update is long overdue. I had hoped to include intel on Perlmutter but that has now been removed (something for the next update). I will run one omre test on Chrysalis and then merge as soon as CI completes
