create_experiment HPC_ACCOUNT not working

[CoryMartin-NOAA]

What is wrong?

One used to be able to do something like:

HPC_ACCOUNT=da-cpu ./create_experiment.py --yaml ci/cases/pr/C96C48_hybatmaerosnowDA.yaml

and it would replace all the ACCOUNT information with da-cpu that is no longer the case, it's instead fv3-cpu

What should have happened?

HPC_ACCOUNT=da-cpu should fill in da-cpu where appropriate

What machines are impacted?

All or N/A

What global-workflow hash are you using?

Seconded, and same for the queue settings. At least they could be overridden in the yamls.

[DavidHuber-NOAA]

Yes, this does stem from #3053. In that PR, I made it so whatever was in the CI YAML would be overridden by the workflow/hosts machine YAML. This allowed for features that were not supported on a machine to be disabled, even if it is explicitly enabled in the CI test (such as METplus or the TC tracker).

I will need to think about how to reconcile this to allow users to influence assignments.
