I thought about adding a new value to RunType, but it required a few more changes across the library. Maybe that's more appropriate though?

I've gone back and forth on this in my mind. I think this is probably okay as it is. I don't forsee a reason to use RunType=branch as an option outside of this application. Just to confirm, for the rest of the code RunType will be Restart for branch runs right?

Confirming this works. Cherry-picking these commits into a branch from December allowed a CIME style branch run to work without having to add "Perform Restart: false" to all the I/O yaml files. |

Simplify workflow for branch runs, and, in general, runs where new output streams are added upon restart.

Right now, for branch runs, the user needs to add the entry
Perform Restart: falseentry in theRestartsublist of their output yaml file. This allows EAMxx to skip the look for the rhist file. However, the user must later remove this entry, so that upon subsequent restarts the stream IS restarted. This is confusing, and may be overlooked.This PR automatically handles this kind of details. In particular:
Perform Restart: falsewithskip_restart_if_rhist_not_found: true. This makes it simpler, since this param does not need to be removed after the 1st "post-restart-run"
