tests: minor cleanup in tests

[romanc]

Description

Minor cleanup in pace tests:

• add __init__.py files where missing
• List -> list and Tuple -> tuple
• NDSL has no Namelist anymore
• cleanup unused import and code in test_init_from_geos.py

How Has This Been Tested?

All good as long as existing tests are still passing.

Rebased onto develop after conflicts popped up. Found a stale reference to ndsl.Namelist, which were removed with NOAA-GFDL/NDSL#297.

@fmalatino what is the status of this PR? It seems like nobody is unhappy with it. Can we merge? (I don't have merge rights in this repo).
