Remove deprecated MetaData/variable_names variable #92

@amstokely

Description

@amstokely

The obs2ioda library currently includes the variable MetaData/variable_names in its output files. This variable is deprecated and no longer allowed under the IODA v3 schema.

Including it results in the following schema validation error:

   ERROR: Variable 'MetaData/variable_names' is deprecated and should be removed.

Context
This variable was previously used to enumerate field names but has since been replaced by schema-aware group and variable definitions in IODA v3.

Priority
Medium — not currently causing runtime failures, but blocks full schema compliance and generates validation errors.
