Change Summary
Some GLOWS Validation corrections for L1A with 4 repoint validation data set.
Overview
The bulk of the changes are to accommodate a bad assumption in the original code about the number of bins in a histogram. Each timestamp can have a varying length of histogram bins.
To preserve the larger dataset across all files, this creates the length of the histogram as 3600, and just fills in the portion of the data for the shorter bin counts. I think this aligns with ISTP's requirements about full dataset standardization.
This did require migrating the packet decommutation settings to a variable length dataset rather than always assuming a fixed number of bytes.
Testing
The spins in the existing validation data in the code have an off by one error, so that test needed an update.
