Merge PR #2347 (Use hard-coded dates for met fields/BCs)

This merge brings PR #2347 (Use hard-coded dates for meteorological fields
and boundary conditions, by @nicholasbalasus) into the GEOS-Chem
"no-diff-to-benchmark" development stream.

This PR fixes a bug that was implemented in PR #2263.  It should improve
the performance by preventing excessive reading of met fields/BCs.

 ### Fixed
 - Fixed formatting error in `.github/workflows/stale.yml` that caused the Mark Stale Issues action not to run
 - Fixed typo `$GCAPVERTRESL` -> `$GCAPVERTRES` in `HEMCO_Config.rc.fullchem` template file
+- Use hard-coded years for met fields and BC files in HEMCO_Config.rc so they are not read hourly
