Add namelist.wps from the container to Github

[jaredalee]

Describe the Task

Add the WPS namelist (namelist.wps) file that is currently being used in the WRF container under development, to the use_cases/Hurricane_Matthew/WRF folder in the Github repo. This file should already have the container-relative file locations specified for geog_data_path, opt_geogrid_tbl_path, prefix, fname, and opt_metgrid_tbl_path. Then this namelist can be downloaded from the repository unmodified to support running the Hurricane Matthew test case. Once it has been uploaded to the repo, then Sec. 4.1.1.1 of the readthedocs should be updated accordingly to point directly to this file.

Time Estimate

Less than 1 hour.

@Trumbore, I initially assigned this to @rcplane, but it's also something you could take care of quickly. By uploading your modified namelist.wps to use_cases/Hurricane_Matthew/WRF in the repo, then you could adjust the run script to simply download namelist.wps from the repository, rather than modifying it locally. Similarly, the WRF namelist (namelist.input), which I just updated and committed per our meeting this morning, can be directly downloaded from the repo instead of doing any local modification of the file. That would make for a cleaner run script.
