Describe the New Feature

dtcenter/MET#1904 adds an initial version of the new Gen-Ens-Prod tool to the met-10.1.0-beta3 MET development release. This issue adds a wrapper for calling that Gen-Ens-Prod tool. Just like Gen-Ens-Prod is a subset of the Ensemble-Stat tool, it's wrapper can largely be a subset of the existing Ensemble-Stat wrapper.

From @georgemccabe:
The new wrapper will be able to borrow existing components from other wrappers to implement all of the functionality. The wrapper will support the following functionality:

• Obtain a list of input files, write a file list file, and pass to -ens argument
• Set environment variables to override values in MET config file (all dictionaries and variables in the new config file are supported in other wrappers)
• Pass wrapped config file as -config argument
• Build output file path from template/dir and pass to -out argument
• Set optional -ctrl path based on template/dir (GEN_ENS_PROD_CTRL_[TEMPLATE/DIR] or GEN_ENS_PROD_CONTROL_[TEMPLATE/DIR])
