Pull Request Summary
Adding capability to read WW3 restart files when using PIO and runtype=initial.
Description
For the high resolution (HR) prototypes, we want to be able to read a WW3 binary restart even though the runtype=initial. These code changes allow for that. This does not address wanting to use a NetCDF restart with runtype=initial.
Is a change of answers expected from this PR? No. Unless you are running the coupled model with runtype=initial, this will allow for ICs to now be read.

Testing
How were these changes tested?
--- UFS weather model PR: Update for WW3 initialization ufs-community/ufs-weather-model#2585
RegressionTests_hera.log
--- Global-workflow test output: /scratch1/NCEPDEV/climate/Jessica.Meixner/UpdateFixandHiresIC/c48t05
Are the changes covered by regression tests? (If not, why? Do new tests need to be added?) No. This is a ufs-weather-model issue and its also not covered by regresstion tests in ufs-waether-model. We do use this in production runs during the transition from binary-> netcdf restarts.
Have the matrix regression tests been run (if yes, please note HPC and compiler)? No. Will do if requested.
Please indicate the expected changes in the regression test output, (Note the list of known non-identical tests.) None.
Please provide the summary output of matrix.comp (matrix.Diff.txt, matrixCompFull.txt and matrixCompSummary.txt):
--- Will run if requested, currently have not been done.
