All in W/m**2, one of which was w/m2, so that's consistent now.

Description

Various places report units of w/m**2 for flux variables. This changes those to W/m**2 to make those units machine-readable.

Issue(s) addressed

Found the same way as NOAA-GFDL/GFDL_atmos_cubed_sphere#350

Testing

I made the w/m**2 -> W/m**2 changes in a clone of the global-workflow repository, then ran the model and checked the history files, to find most flux variables were now W/m**2, none were w/m**2, and two were W/M**2. I fixed the last two and haven't checked that result yet.

I checked this using Intel compilers.
