…tead of only the filename so that the function can tell whether or not the file exists. (#1952)

Co-authored-by: Julie Prestopnik <jpresto@seneca.rap.ucar.edu>

* Per issue #1761 in set_perc() adding code to get FBIAS numeric value, like 1.0 or 0.9, etc. SL

* Per issue #1761: in set_perc(), modified actual percentile calculation at end to use the extracted FBIAS numeric value (float). SL

* Per issue #1761: modified the check on the perc_thresh_freq_bias, just has to be > 0 now. SL

* Per issue #1761: cleaned up code in set_perc(). SL

* Per #1761, updates to Simple_Node::set_perc() to handle variable frequency bias amounts.
Changes include:
- Reverting the formatting of this back to how it originally was in the develop branch. In general, just match the formatting of the existing file, so as the minimize the number of difference lines.
- Add logic to adjust the percentile to be found based on the requested FBIAS value. Multiplying or dividing the percentile by the FBIAS value depends on the inequality type and whether we're bias adjusting the forecast or observation data.
- Adjust the log messages slightly.

Please be aware that I'm not totally confident in these changes. They warrant much more testing. This logic is very, very confusing.

* Per #1761, call compute_percentile() when double-checking the percentile values.

* Per #1761, remove unused variable.

* Per #1761, add warning for percentiles > 100.

* Per #1761. In set_perc(), after testing cleaned up code. SL

* Per issue #1761: adding new config file for testing dynamic FBIAS values. SL

* Per issue #1761: added new unit test for dynamic FBIAS values when running grid_stat. SL

* Per issue #1761, modified FBIAS section to indicated that the user can use dynamic values that are not 1.0. SL

…d output files.

…ing the logic for computing the ensemble range back to what it was previously. The new version produced very slight differences in the 6-th or 7-th decimal place when compared to previous results. There's not good reason for these changes which were caused by the order of operations in casting from doubles to floats. Reverting back to the old logic prevents diffs for anyone else downstream and is the prudent choice.

…and 4.9.2 of ncdiff. The earlier version reported 0 diffs for the time_bounds, lat, lon, latitude, and longitude variables while the newer version reports their raw values. Simply ignore these variables for now. This isn't a great solution but when we reimplement this testing logic in python, we can address this issue then.

…ces of MET_BUILD_BASE and a couple instances of MET_BASE from the examples listed in Appendix A. The inconsistent use of these variables will only cause confusion. Removing them will help avoid that confusion. Big picture... MET_BASE defines the installed 'share/met' directory. It can be used to reference the location of map or polyline files. MET_BUILD_BASE is only used in the context of the test scripts. There, it's defined as the top-level source code directory in which the code was compiled. Its used to reference the location of sample data files or Rscript included in the tarball. I left a couple references to these variables in Appendix A where thier use is not confusing. But I removed all instances which are used to the define the location of the 'bin' directory. Instead, let's just assume the MET binaries are already in their path... or the user knows where to find them.
