Use of get_gravity gt4py function to select between field vs scalar gravity for whole atmosphere calculations #146

Description

@fmalatino

Currently gravity values are passed to stencils through a 3D field, which will either have all elements set to a constant gravity value, or will have adjusted gravity values if enable_wam has been passed as part of the DynamicalCoreConfig.

A method should be introduced to enable selection between using the field-adjusted structure when whole atmosphere calculations are selected and just scalar gravity when they are not, to reduce memory overhead.
