Feature 2708 mvmode merge flag default (#2720)

* mods to use the multivar mode default config (when in multivar mode), and to check for problematic merge config settings * added more meaningful error and debug messages * Modified documentation to better describe multivariate mode including new default values * Bug fix for unit test * cleanup and fix a bug in which the default output path was not set in multivar mode * Changed multivar_name value to 'Super' in MODEMultivarConfig_default * Update multivar_name value and description in mode.rst --------- Co-authored-by: John Halley Gotway <[email protected]>

 The **multivar_intensity_flag** entry appears only in the **MODEMultivarConfig_default** file. This option is paired with the **multivar_logic** entry, and can take on a value of TRUE or FALSE for each **field**.  In the multivar case, super objects are created using the **multivar_logic** settings. For each input for which **multivar_intensity_flag** is TRUE, the input is masked to be non-missing only within the super objects, and traditional mode is run on that masked input.  For each input for which **multivar_intensity_flag** is FALSE, the input is skipped over.   If all the multivar_intensity_flag values are FALSE, traditional mode output is created for the super objects, but with no intensity information.

-The **multivar_name** entry appears only in the **MODEMultivarConfig_default** file. This option is used only when the multivar option is enabled, and only when all **multivar_intensity_flag** values are FALSE. It can be thought of as an identifier for the multivariate super object.  It shows up in output files names and content.  If not set the default value is "Super".   It can be set separately for forecasts and observations, or as a common value for both.
