Change the default setting for the model string from "WRF" to "FCST" in the default MET configuration files #2682

Description

Describe the Task

The default model string listed in the Grid-Stat config file is "WRF".

model = "WRF";

That setting exists in 9 of the default MET configuration files. It originated back when MET was initially named WVT, for the WRF Verification Toolkit. This issue is to change the default from WRF to FCST, which is what most of the METplus wrappers do anyway.
