[develop] Update nco version

[RatkoVasic-NOAA]

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:

Hera with Intel compiler was using system installed nco library (4.9.3 version). It was not noticed until sys admins removed read permissions to 4.9.3 version and installed new version (5.1.6).

Hera:/apps/modules/modulefiles/nco>ll
-rwx------ 1 root root  651 Sep 08 2023 21:17:20 4.9.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1356 Feb 29 2024 17:21:01 5.1.6

Will use spack-stack installed nco (version 5.0.6), like all other machines/compilers.

Additionally, the automated tests on Derecho, Hera Intel, and Hercules have successfully passed. Once the last tests on Gaea and Hera GNU have passed, I will be able to merge this PR.
