Feature request: QCF runtime choices

[hkershaw-brown]

Use case

Currently the QCF requires an algorithm_info_mod specific to the model (really the QTYs filter is compiled with)

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Ease of building DART with the QCF options

Current model compilation (DART/developer_tests/build_everything):
only models with either QTYs that match DART/assimilation_code/modules/assimilation/algorithm_info_mod.f90 or a local algorithm_info_mod.f90 build successfully

Describe your preferred solution

Read in the algorithm info choices at runtime:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnvEFfgj5SfFbnIahGHwjy1XJ5IWBvPS8NB1nrIjc8k/edit

Note this gets us over the compile time vs. runtime hurdle so users/us can build and run any model with QCF options.
There are bunch of science and user-interface discussions to be had.

Describe any alternatives you have considered

Thought about adding the QCF info to the quantity files, but this makes the algorithm_info choice a compile time choice.
input.nml - seems like too much info for a namelist
yaml/toml?
