Merge bogensch/atm/disableEUL_SCM (PR #3035)

discontinue support for Eulerian dycore for the SCM (atm) This PR will disable the Eulerian dycore for running the single column model (SCM). The SCM will now only work (and be supported) with the Spectral Element (SE) dycore, which has now been well tested/validated, and is consistent with EAM global simulations. With this PR an error and abort message will be provided to the user should they try to configure the SCM with any dycore other than SE. In addition, hooks for the Eulerian core are removed from the scam_arm97.xml use_case, as this is the compset used for SCM developer tests. Note that the SCM developer test for Eulerian SCM is removed in a companion cime PR. [BFB]
