Problems with the 2010_control use-case for BgcCrop #3621

Description

@ekluzek

Brief summary of bug

The 2010_control use-case has been needed because CAM does some testing with 2010 compsets. We don't have 2010 surface datasets (and have decided to continue not having them). So the use-case sets

sim_year=2000

to get the closest surface dataset. But, then any namelist logic that depends on sim_year being correct uses 2000 rather than 2010.

So the only way to get around that is to explicitly set the namelist settings in the 2010_control.xml file, rather than rely on sim_year in the namelist_defaults. So the cases that rely on just sim_year in the namelist_defaults file won't function correctly.

General bug information

**CTSM version you are using:**ctsm5.3.085

Does this bug cause significantly incorrect results in the model's science? Yes, inconsistent settings

Configurations affected:

2010 compsets with BgcCrop (Sp is tested and fine).

Details of bug

Some of the crop stream settings are set to 2000 rather than 2010

grepping for 2000 in the CaseDocs namelists we see these problems:

 model_year_align_cropcal_cultivar_gdds = 2000
 model_year_align_cropcal_swindows = 2000
 stream_fldfilename_swindow_end = '/glade/campaign/cesm/cesmdata/inputdata/lnd/clm2/cropdata/calendars/processed/swindow_ends_ggcmi_crop_calendar_phase3_v1.01.2000-2000.20231005_145103.tweaked_latlons.nc'
 stream_fldfilename_swindow_start = '/glade/campaign/cesm/cesmdata/inputdata/lnd/clm2/cropdata/calendars/processed/swindow_starts_ggcmi_crop_calendar_phase3_v1.01.2000-2000.20231005_145103.tweaked_latlons.nc'
 stream_year_first_cropcal_cultivar_gdds = 2000
 stream_year_first_cropcal_swindows = 2000
 stream_year_last_cropcal_cultivar_gdds = 2000
 stream_year_last_cropcal_swindows = 2000

Important details of your setup / configuration so we can reproduce the bug

I saw this in other cases I was testing and then figured this reproducer:

./create_test SMS_D_Ld1_PS.f19_f19_mt232.2010_DATM%GSWP3v1_CLM60%BGC-CROP_SICE_SOCN_SROF_SGLC_SWAV.derecho_intel.clm-clm60cam7LndTuningMode -r . --no-build

The only 2010 test we have is with Sp on, so it works fine:

SMS_D_Ld1_PS.f19_f19_mg17.I2010Clm50Sp.derecho_intel.clm-clm50cam6LndTuningMode--clm-nofireemis
