Description

### Contact Details

### Are there any linked Issues or Pull Requests?

ticket:4673

### Brief description

It appears that r_val and dp_val are poorly defined kinds that are never used in lfric (and shouldn't be used) so they should be removed. There may also be scope to tidy up `constants_mod.F90` in general.

### Further details of the issue.

Research direction

Start with constants_mod.F90 and ticket 4673, then search the repository for references to r_val and dp_val. Done means confirming whether they are unused and removing them if appropriate; any broader cleanup should be limited to what the module and ticket justify.
