Use reduced g-point data when using RRTMGP in EAM and E3SM-MMF. This should half the cost of RRTMGP in E3SM and bring performance in line with RRTMG, which was already using a similar number of quadrature points. This will be non-BFB only for the tests that use RRTMGP (eam-rrtmgp/eam-rrtmgpxx testmods, and all of the MMF tests), but BFB for all other tests.

[non-BFB] for RRTMGP tests

Build our own versions of mo_load_coefficients so that we can use
updated RRTMGP absorption coefficient input files with new solar source
variables (maintains backward compatibility with old files).

changes look good, I'll start some test runs on Summit.

I ran a pair of 1-year simulations with and without the reduced g-point mod. The differences seem small enough to be considered safe in my opinion.
