Error reading GWETTOP fields

Melissa Payer discovered a file read error in the current CH4 simulation. We will fix this issue in GEOS-Chem v9-01-03.

         ENDIF
I also changed:
         XTAU = GET_TAU0( 1, 1, GET_YEAR() )
to:
         XTAU = GET_TAU0( 1, 1, CYEAR2 )
For both annual and monthly mean GEWTTOP. That seems to work and it reads the file for the proper simulation year.
