Add S2S use case for TC Track Density Function (TDF)

[DanielAdriaansen]

Describe the New Feature

Add a use case demonstrating the computation and visualization of Track Density Function (GDF). This metric is used in S2S application to visualize the distribution and frequency of TC tracks associated with TC genesis events across a user-defined time period. The computation of TDF is dependent on identifying TC genesis. See #630.

Acceptance Testing

Forecast data: GFDL vortex tracker output in "genesis mode" from NWP model forecast data
Observation data: Global ATCF bdecks data
MET tool: tc_gen
METplus wrapper: tc_gen_wrapper.py

Time Estimate

2-4 days of work

For now, we can use the new MET_CONFIG_OVERRIDES capability in METplus to control new tc_gen config options via METplus wrappers. However this should be changed to use the appropriately supported METplus config items once #801 is complete.

Closing in favor of #630. Combining TDF/GDF into single use case.

Congratulations and THANK YOU for getting it done ;-)
