Currently the DO_NONVAR_CLDANAL variable has two choice: FALSE or TRUE.

However, we have had those situations when we want to run all cloud analysis procedures except the final step to write analysis results back to the FV3 background files. This way we can do some kind of cloud analysis "dry" runs to test various code parts without affecting RRFS forecasts.

This PR is to add a "JEIN" choice for such situations. "JEIN" is a German word, a portmanteau of "yes (ja) and no (nein)". It means something roughly like “yes in some respects but no in others”.

Although one can manually modify exregional_nonvarcldanl.sh to achieve the similar functionality, the change history is not committed and will be lost. Sometimes this "JEIN" situation may last a few weeks/months for real-time RRFS runs and it will be good to track all these changes in the repo history.

  JEIN: run cloud analysis, but keep changes local and do NOT affect forecasts

@guoqing-noaa I do think if someone wants to debug the cloud analysis by turning off the impact to the initial fields, they should do it manually as they should know much more details on the cloud analysis than using the option to make the debug happen. We will have many similar tricks to temporarily change the system for tuning. I think it is better to leave those trick out of the repository.
