Post capgen v1 unification: recreate CCPP variable tracker and add debugging feature #770

Description

@climbfuji

Description

The CCPP variable tracker for ccpp-prebuild hasn't been ported to ccpp-capgen v1 yet.

Also, the previously used GFS_debug CCPP scheme in prebuild, which was hardcoded to the GFS DDTs and cumbersome to maintain, was retired.

Solution

We should recreate the CCPP variable tracker for ccpp-capgen-v1 and also think about a framework-side solution that provides similar or better debugging capabilities than the old GFS_debug scheme. @climbfuji experimented with this when tracking bit-for-bit differences for one of the CAM-SIMA regression tests.

Alternatives (optional)

Retire CCPP variable tracker - did anyone really use it?

Don't provide debugging capabilities, use add-hoc debugging print statements if needed. This will hurt us.
