conda-forge has a conflicting thermo package

[xylar]

Conda-forge already has a package called thermo, with this feedstock. With strict channel order, it becomes challenging (impossible?) to install the cdat package called thermo because the conda-forge package takes priority. Switching channel order has other consequences (picking up older packages on cdat) that are not acceptable. I will need to drop this package in e3sm-unified unless it can be renamed to something that doesn't conflict with conda-forge.

This issue also means I'm currently not able to install the main cdat package as part of e3sm-unified because it has thermo as a dependency.

@xylar I will move thermo to vcsaddons and will push a new build of cdat without dependency on thermo I don't think anyone is using it anyway.

Great, that sounds perfect!
