removing comp.* link.* files as we now use the cmplr.env

[JessicaMeixner-NOAA]

This PR removes all of the model/bin/comp.<> & link.<> files as we have transitioned to using the cmplr.env files.

I have not run regression tests yet, as I wanted to make sure there were no objections to the removal of these files. If someone is still using one of the independent comp/link files, we could add them to the cmplr.env.

Update:
PR #283 which removes unused files in the bin directory and PR #279 which got rid of .swp files not intended to be committed to repo have been combined with this PR.

I agree to remove those comp & link files.
Also it would be good to remove the if tests on comp and link in section # 3.c Setup comp & link files in w3_setup

Sounds like a good idea to me - it would significantly tidy up the bin directory.
On the subject of removing old files, is anyone still using the regtest/matrix.base.v1 file? Can this also be removed (maybe in a different PR?)

I don't use it. so ok for me to also remove it

@aliabdolali we could also remove https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/WW3/blob/develop/regtests/bin/matrix_zeus_HLT since we use the ncep one now if you agree.

@mickaelaccensi @ukmo-ccbunney I will remove the extra regtest/matrix.base.v1 file, because I agree it's not being used. In terms of the extra if statements in the w3_setup, I can clean that up too if we want. Do we think everyone has fully transitioned at this point so that's okay to do?

@JessicaMeixner-NOAA, @ukmo-ccbunney I agree, we can remove regtest/matrix.base.v1 and regtests/bin/matrix_zeus_HLT. The Matlab scripts haven't been used for a long time, so we can also remove them.

@aliabdolali the other 2 clean-up related PRs have been added to this branch and it has been updated w/the most recent develop branch. This PR is ready for review and regression testing.

[aliabdolali]

@JessicaMeixner-NOAA Awesome, I'll review it and will check regtests today.

[mickaelaccensi]

approved.
the next step would be clean up w3_setup and probably move the variables comp_seq and comp_mpi from cmplr.env to wwatch3.env

All tests compared OK, apart from the usual suspects.
