Add manage externals to access MMM-physics repo (#2126)

TYPE: enhancement, no impact

KEYWORDS: manage_externals, some physics for tropical suite

SOURCE: internal

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Add the use of manage_externals tool to access physics in
[MMM-physics](https://github.com/NCAR/MMM-physics) repository. The
physics we access are part of the 'tropical' suite: YSU PBL, revised MM5
surface layer, WSM6 microphysics, and new Tiedtke scheme. It also
accesses GWDO option 1 routine. These modules have been residing in
phys/physics_mmm/ in 4.6. Instead of copied files in this directory, we
now use manage_externals to access these modules from MMM-physics
repository.

Will need to update the tags specified in Externals.cfg before final
release.

TESTS CONDUCTED: 
1. Successfully compiled the code on Derecho.
2. Are the Jenkins tests all passing?

RELEASE NOTE: Add manage_externals tool to access physics modules in
MMM-physics git repository.
