Fix uninitialized values in cs_profile when iv == -3 #302

Description

Following the suggestion from @lharris4 in #301 (comment), this assigns values to gam(i,km) consistent with the interior of the column when iv == -3 in cs_profile. It should be expected to change answers for non-hydrostatic simulations where fv_core_nml.kord_wz < -7.

Fixes #301

How Has This Been Tested?

This has not been tested for scientific correctness, though I have tested that the change proposed here addresses the non-reproducibility issue identified in #301. I now get bitwise-identical results every time I run the model in this configuration.

This should be correct. Thank you for submitting a fix so quickly.

@laurenchilutti can we bring this back into GitLab? Thanks.

This follows the suggestion of Lucas Harris in NOAA-GFDL#301 for the fix.

@lharris4 thanks for quickly providing the suggestion for the fix!

FYI my force push was only to update the commit message to indicate all values of kord_wz for which this is relevant, instead of referring just to kord_wz = -9.

Apologies for potentially interfering with the CI with this rapid re-push.

This PR updates the dycore, physics, and driver NOAA-GFDL submodules in this repo to their latest `main` branches.  Now that

- NOAA-GFDL/SHiELD_physics#31
- NOAA-GFDL/atmos_drivers#31
- NOAA-GFDL/atmos_drivers#30
- NOAA-GFDL/GFDL_atmos_cubed_sphere#302

have been merged, all the required features in SHiELD are in place to bring SHiELD-wrapper up-to-par with fv3gfs-wrapper.

Note that NOAA-GFDL/SHiELD_physics#31 made changes to the long names of some of the diagnostics output in our regression test, which required a checksum update.  

I have also taken the liberty to remove the disclaimer from the README that states that changes to SHiELD are required to bring SHiELD-wrapper up-to-par with FV3GFS.  That is no longer a limiting factor, and those remaining features are implemented in open PRs in this repo.
