Subject: [PATCH] Add brtemp and cldmask fields to atmosphere Registry.xml file
 for MPAS-JEDI

These fields are required by MPAS-JEDI and are associated with the `jedi_da` package,
which is active only if `config_jedi_da = true`.
Without setting `config_jedi_da = true` this commit should have no impact on
memory usage for stand-alone MPAS-A applications.
