Bugzilla 1974 - Cannot use flag_xyfill option with subcolumns

[cacraigucar]

If you call addfld with flag_xyfill = .true. for a field with subcolumns, calls to outfld will crash if any column has nsubcol < psubcols.
Proposed action is to call endrun at addfld time to avoid crashing later in the run.

To fix this, we have to first move some code:

In addfld (cam_history), move this code:

!
! Whether to apply xy fillvalue: default is false
!
if (present(flag_xyfill)) then
listentry%field%flag_xyfill = flag_xyfill
else
listentry%field%flag_xyfill = .false.
end if

below the if block that begins with:
if(present(mdimnames)) then

Then add logic after the line:
listentry%field%flag_xyfill = flag_xyfill

to the tune of:
if (listentry%field%is_subcol .and. flag_xyfill) then
call endrun('addfld: flag_xyfill not supported for subcolumn fields')
end if

It looks like subcol_unpack deals with adding a fillvalue to the subcols from nsubcol+1 to psubcols. What is the actual problem?
