A bug was discovered where the ngenCERF server was not properly configuring the global_domain forcing variable, leading to the incorrect ESMF mesh file being used for oCONUS gages for NWM retrospective forcing.
After reviewing the code with Max, we decided that we could combine the global_domain and domain input variables into a single domain variable. This PR removes the global_domain variable in the Forcing section of the input.config and instead relies on the domain input for all region configuration. The global_domain CLI argument has been left unchanged.
I also updated the file name of the geo_em_PuertoRico.nc file to geo_em_Puerto_Rico.nc in s3/ngwpc-dev/rte-test-data/esmf/esmf_mesh/NWM/domain/ and s3/ngwpc-dev/kyle.larkin/esmf/esmf_mesh/NWM/domain/ to match the naming convention of the Puerto Rico domain in the msw-mgr.
