The present PR attempts to turn off GOSWIM by setting the number of constituents to 0.
GOSWIM is a snow impurity scheme that was implemented in GEOS but has not been used.
Previously, N_constit=9 was hardwired and GOSWIM calculations were executed even though GOSWIM was never used. To turn off GOSWIM, the GCM's rc parameter AEROSOL_DEPOSITION was set to 0, which forced the constituent mass and the deposition rates to remain zero, but the many GOSWIM do loops through the 9 constituents were still executed, thus multiplying and adding lots zeros many times.
If needed, original behavior can be recovered by setting N_constit=N_constit_GOSWIM=9
