remove the version ifdef and add the CASE_HASH variable

[jedwards4b]

Description of changes

Remove the ifdef which assured that the version of ESMF was 8 or greater. Version 8 or greater is always required so this is just a cleanup. Also added the CASE_HASH variable which is used by cime to establish provenance.
