Provide a clear and concise overview of the new feature requested.

We plan to retire the CH4, CO2, and tagCO simulations in GCClassic and GCHP in favor of the carbon simulation, which can be run in joint-species or single-species mode. See geoschem/geos-chem#2387 for more details.

This would include retiring the simulation type "CO2 w/ CMS-Flux emissions" from GCHP's createRunDir.sh script. That simulation was introduced for the purposes of developing the GCHP adjoint, but it would be best if further work on the GCHP adjoint used the carbon simulation.

If CMS-Flux emissions should be included as the default or as an option in the carbon simulations then that should be introduced in it's own pull request.

@kbowman77 I believe you have plans to continue work on the GCHP adjoint so please feel free to tag the relevant developers here for awareness and discussions if needed.

@msulprizio, is there a target version in which we hope to retire this simulation?

[msulprizio]

It would be nice to do it in the same version we retire the CH4, CO2, and tagCO from GCClassic, but can be done anytime really (with approval from the Carbon Gases WG).

@hannahnesser @kbowman77 Any thoughts on your end?
