add options to read in climatology calculated from given time period?

For this, if we have the Python parameters as:

test_name = 'case_scripts'
seasons = ['000101_001012', '000101_000512', '000601_001012']

It's kinda of a hack but it seemed to work for Sterling.
Your thoughts @chengzhuzhang?

@zshaheen '000101_001012' should be extra parameters. which means climatology is calculated from Jan of first year to Dec of the first year. These climatology from different time periods are stored in the same directory, that's why we probably need more parameters to constrain the years. If each time period are saved in individual folders then, we only need to change test data path to accommodate. It really depends on the regridding process in the work flow...We can decide later if this needs to be implemented

This will also be taken care of when the climo is implemented. When you have climo=False but start_yr and end_yr are defined, do what's explained in this issue.

Works, we're just testing it. This will be released soon.
