Describe the Enhancement

PR dtcenter/MET#2569 for issue dtcenter/MET#1283 slightly modifies the configuration options to support multivariate MODE logic. This task is to update the METplus wrapper for MODE to handle the change.

According to the METplus Configuration Glossary, the following are supported:

• MODE_FCST_MULTIVAR_UNITS
• MODE_OBS_MULTIVAR_UNITS

These options are no longer used and should be replaced with:

• MODE_FCST_MULTIVAR_LEVEL
• MODE_OBS_MULTIVAR_LEVEL

The are used to set the values of fcst.multivar_level and obs.multivar_level respectively.

Recommend also testing the MODE wrapper with MET's develop branch after the MET-11.1.0-rc1 release has been created.

Please see @davidalbo with any questions about multi-variate MODE.
