Remove Qn_fixed from autotroph_settings_type

After discussion with Keith L, it looks like Qn_fixed and Qn_zoo were added to
the code base so the fixed N:C configuration looked more like the fixed P:C
configuration... but it isn't necessary since we want to use the same fixed N:C
throughout the code (as opposed to fixed P:C, which really does vary from among
the different functional types even when fixed spatially / temporally)
