Add jules-lfric metadata

[James Bruten (james-bruten-mo)]

PR Summary

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

This adds the jules-lfric metadata section, similar to jules-um, copied from lfric_apps. The metadata contained within has not been modified in the move, however old version directories and import version numbers have been changed to match Jules versions instead of lfric.
This also adds the jules-sea-seaice metadata to jules-shared again copied from lfric but with version numbers updated.

This allows the linked Apps PR to delete the jules-lfric metadata section and remove its copy of jules-shared.

This one also needs changing.

James Bruten (@james-bruten-mo) the change went awry.

vn8.1 needs changing like HEAD.

[James Bruten (james-bruten-mo)]

I've just updated the PR Template question reminding for the need of a linked PR when jules-shared is changed

[Maggie (maggiehendry)]

It would appear that I forgot to submit this one earlier.
