BranchEnsemble.configure()

Configure a parameter ensemble of MALI simulations.

Start by identifying the start and end run numbers to set up from the config.

Next, read a pre-defined unit parameter vector that can be used for assigning parameter values to each ensemble member.

The main work is using the unit parameter vector to set parameter values for each parameter to be varied, over prescribed ranges.

Then create the ensemble member as a step in the test case by calling the EnsembleMember constructor.

Finally, add this step to the test case’s step_to_run. This normally happens automatically if steps are added to the test case in the test case constructor, but because we waited to add these steps until this configure phase, we must explicitly add the steps to steps_to_run.
