Tess Carter (@tscarter) provided updates for the GFED extension, including:

  1. Updating VOC’s to Andreae et al. (2019)
  2. Adding biomass emissions for existing GEOS-Chem species that do not have biomass emissions
  3. Adding a lumped species (representing 3 compounds) for furans

This should be merged along with geoschem/geos-chem#1642.

…ewly added species

In the previous commit, emission factors were added for furans, PHEN, MVK,
ISOP, ACTA, MGLY, MYLX, RCHO. NSPEC at the top of hcox_gfed_mod.F90 needed
to be increased to accommodate the new species.

These updates are a combination of updating scale factors to more recent values, and adding the new species for furans. Good to merge.

@msulprizio: Maybe in future we can change the *.H file into a YAML file, so that it's less hidden and easier to update.
