Modified the ocean_only/SCM_idealized_hurricane test case to set its wind stresses via idealized_hurricane_wind_forcing(), rather than the soon-to-obsoleted routine SCM_idealized_hurricane_wind_forcing(). The two configurations are mathematically equivalent, but the former routine is more flexibly configurable (it is also used in the ocean_only/idealized_hurricane test case) and satisfies dimensional consistency testing. This change is done by setting WIND_CONFIG = "ideal_hurr" and IDL_HURR_X0 = 6.48e5, which give results that differ at roundoff from the previous settings. The regression answers will have to be updated. The MOM_parameter_doc files have been updated to reflect this change.

Once this update to this test case is in place, the value of "SCM_ideal_hurr" for WIND_CONFIG will be obsoleted and the SCM_idealized_hurricane_wind_forcing() routine can be removed.
