Enable Mass_xx output when `history_verbose` is on and update Mass_so4 with strat sulfate #39

Based on an email thread with @crterai @mingxuan @hwangacme @tangq,

Aerosol modelers often set history_aerosol = True and history_verbose = True to switch on the detailed aerosol diagnostics for analysis. This will add many output fields and increase the data volume. In production runs, history_verbose is often turned off.

In current code , turning on history_verbose would remove output for total concentrations of aerosol species (e.g., Mass_so4), which are required for computing aerosol budget in E3SM Diags. Enable Mass_xx output when history_verbose is on would allow using E3SM Diags's aerosol budget tables for development version from specialized aerosol focused runs. @mingxuanwupnnl also noted that we will need to modify the code to get correct Mass_xx fields for v3, as we add strat sulfate so4_a5/so4_c5.
