Description

• Closes Default CO2 RF method #43

Please include a summary of the changes and the related issue. Please also include relevant motivation and context.

These default settings will be added to config if not specified by user in config file. Additionally, a logging message is output to inform user which default settings are used.
• Added new dependency, python package "deepmerge" for merging nested dictionaries, e.g. config and added_dict.

Looks good! Just a few minor comments. Whilst doing this review with a clean installation of OpenAirClim, I noticed that a number of the tests did not pass, which I now found out to be because they require create_test_files.py to have been run. I opened issue #50 to address this.
