PR3 damped

(This work was mostly done Friday 12/7 but I wanted to check a few things before posting.) 

After the M3UL OSEM was sorted out (see 4840), I went on to get all the matrices and settings checked out and the damping working. I ran prepare.m to be sure all the filters were loaded. I entered all the M1/M2/M3 OSEM2EUL and EUL2OSEM values from the output of make_sushlts_projections.m. I set SENSALIGN and DRIVEALIGN to the identity matrix. I set the signs in M1 COILOUTF to give +ve sensor response for +ve offset. The final values were -1, -1, +1, +1, -1, +1. This agrees with the settings previously used on the triples test stand but differs in SD from E1100109-v2. I set the signs in M2 and M3 COILOUTF per E1100109-v2. I found by trial and error a set of damping gains that gave stable damping, but these can probably be improved: -0.5, -2, -1, -0.02, -0.01, -0.04.

According to Jeff B, the apparent sign flip for SD is expected - the magnets are put on per E1100109-v2 but the OSEM is on the opposite side for HLTS (the right as viewed from the back), so it sees the opposite sign of magnet.
