Merging WPS

Issue description

Our custom version of WPS is based on WPS 3.x and the wrfinput files it produces are no longer compatible with current WRF. Also, its geotiff support is not compatible with current geotiff files from LANDFIRE. Consequently we can't run with WRF4+ or update our geographical databases.

Progress

Clone WPS and add wrf-fire repository as a branch

git clone git@github.com:wrf-model/WPS.git
cd WPS
git remote add wrf-fire git@github.com:openwfm/wrf-fire.git
git fetch git@github.com:openwfm/wrf-fire.git
git fetch wrf-fire
git checkout -b wrf-fire-track/master wrf-fire/master
git checkout -b wrf-fire-track/wps3.4 wrf-fire/wps3.4

Filtering

git checkout wrf-fire-track/master
git checkout -b wrf-fire-wps-track
git filter-branch -f --subdirectory-filter WPS @

Now the top level directory has the contents of the WPS subdirectory only and files outside of WPS subdirectory are stripped from all commits.
