The Point-Stat config files in METplus were not fully updated for met-8.1.

This is based on a met-help issue from Perry Shafran:
https://rt.rap.ucar.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=90740

When he runs Point-Stat via METplus he gets:
ERROR : PointStatVxOpt::set_vx_pd() -> "message_type_group_map" must contain an entry for "LANDSF".

I see that the Point-Stat config files included in METplus were not fully updated for met-8.1. Specifically, we need to update the message_type_group map setting by adding entries for LANDSF and WATERSF:

Here's the default setting for met-8.1:
message_type_group_map = [
{ key = "SURFACE"; val = "ADPSFC,SFCSHP,MSONET"; },
{ key = "ANYAIR"; val = "AIRCAR,AIRCFT"; },
{ key = "ANYSFC"; val = "ADPSFC,SFCSHP,ADPUPA,PROFLR,MSONET"; },
{ key = "ONLYSF"; val = "ADPSFC,SFCSHP"; },
{ key = "LANDSF"; val = "ADPSFC,MSONET"; },
{ key = "WATERSF"; val = "SFCSHP"; }
];

I added the land and water message items to the PointStat config files under grid_to_obs and pushed the changes to master_v2.1. Do we want to cut another bugfix release for this change?
