[CF-metadata] too many eddies in standard names

Dear Alison, Martin et al.

I have noticed that several of the new ocean tendency diagnostics we have
added to the standard name table for CMIP6 contain "eddy", but should not do.
The word "eddy" should appear only in parameterized_eddy_advection, not in
mesoscale advection, mesoscale diffusion, submesoscale advection or
dianeutral mixing. I think _eddy should be deleted from all of the names listed
below. I don't know how we got this wrong! The standard names appear correctly
in the two relevant GMD papers.

Best wishes

Jonathan
