Github Actions mpif08 check

[mjs2369]

Description:

Adds a new check to the Github Actions workflow that uses the mpif08 module (compiles with ./quickbuild mpif08 and runs filter on 2 mpi tasks with the lorenz_96 model).

This allows for the automatic testing of the mpif08 module when triggered by a new pull request and/or updates to a pull request.

There are now three total checks in our Actions workflow (build-run-lorenz_96-mpi, build-run-lorenz_63-nompi, build-run-lorenz_96-mpif08)
