Updated reactions in sulfate_mod.f

I made two very small changes to sulfate_mod.f that should be included in the standard code. The change updates the reaction rates used for the offline aerosol simulation so that they match the rates Jingqiu implemented in the full chemistry simulation.

The changes are:

1. In CHEM_DMS, definition of RK2.
2. In CHEM_SO2, definitions of K0 and Ki. Note that I also removed the definition of Ki earlier in the subroutine (line 1497) and moved it to this section so it can be easily updated for future rate constant revisions.
