Change default restart file and start time for CO2 and tagCO simulati…

…ons for consistency with carbon simulations

The CO2 and tagCO run directories were created using old restart files whose origin
is not clear. To simplify validating the carbon simulation, these simulations
now use the carbon simulation restart file which has been spun up for 5 years
with a recent model version (14.1.0). The default start date for these simulations
has changed to 20190101 as well.

 ## [Unreleased] - TBD
 ### Changed
 - Renamed `Emiss_Carbon_Gases` to `CO2_Production` in `carbon_gases_mod.F90`
+- Updated start date and restart file for CO2 and tagCO simulations for consistency with carbon simulations
 
 ### Fixed
 - Added a fix to skip the call to KPP when only CO2 is defined in the carbon simulation
