This PR has no effect on hector output behavior, but it does the following

  1. it increases the initial size of the earth pool to prevent the earth pool from going negative in certain idealized runs as part of RCMIP
  2. there was a parameter called atmos_co2, which was supposed to initialize the size of the atmosphere carbon pool in Pg C, this parameter is no longer necessary/active since the atmosphere C pool is initialized with the pre-industrial CO2 concentration

Ah good, catch, atmos_co2 stands for the atmospheric co2 in terms of Pg C. I am always messing them up.
