Delete Jules metadata copy

[James Bruten (james-bruten-mo)]

PR Summary

Sci/Tech Reviewer: Maggie (@maggiehendry)
Code Reviewer: Sam Clarke-Green (@t00sa)

This deletes lfric-jules-shared and jules-lfric metadata sections from lfric_apps now that the build system can extract the metadata from jules.
The metadata deleted is either already in, or has been copied to the Jules repo. Older versions are renamed to match Jules versions, with corresponding imports updated here.

• linked MetOffice/jules#110
• linked Lfric macros jules meta SimSys_Scripts#230

Code Quality Checklist

• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• My code follows the project's style guidelines
• Comments have been included that aid understanding and enhance the readability of the code
• My changes generate no new warnings
• All automated checks in the CI pipeline have completed successfully

Testing

• I have tested this change locally, using the LFRic Apps rose-stem suite
• If any tests fail (rose-stem or CI) the reason is understood and acceptable (e.g. kgo changes)
• I have added tests to cover new functionality as appropriate (e.g. system tests, unit tests, etc.)
• Any new tests have been assigned an appropriate amount of compute resource and have been allocated to an appropriate testing group (i.e. the developer tests are for jobs which use a small amount of compute resource and complete in a matter of minutes)

As well as rose-stem testing, I've also tested that the changes to apply_macros and release_new_version in the linked PR also work by creating new Jules and LFRic releases on test branches. I've then used the metadata in these test branches to update an lfric_apps suite to ensure it will upgrade from vn3.1 to vn3.2 correctly. This all works as expected.
