HAUX upgrade

Following work by Joe Betzwieser at LLO (alog7141), I upgraded the h1susim model and screens to provide new-style alignment offsets (implemented with filters so that the RAMP option is available) and to reduce the DAQ data rate from 2048 to 256. This involved:

* SVN updating /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/sus/h1/models, just in case.

* SVN updating /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/sus/common/models to get new HAUX_MASTER.mdl and FOUROSEM_DAMPED_ALIGNMENT_STAGE_MASTER.mdl parts (also HTTS_MASTER.mdl ).

* SVN updating /opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/sus/common/medm/haux to get new SUS_CUST_HAUX_OVERVIEW.adl and  SUS_CUST_HAUX_OVERVIEW_all.adl.

* Building h1susim.

* Restoring from the 12:00 hourly backup and then manually copying the old offsets (as follows) into the new screens (new names are ...M1_OPTICALIGN_P_OFFSET and ...M1_OPTICALIGN_Y_OFFSET):

H1:SUS-IM1_M1_OFFSET_P 1 2.330000000000000e+03
H1:SUS-IM1_M1_OFFSET_Y 1 -1.700000000000000e+02

H1:SUS-IM2_M1_OFFSET_P 1 -1.880000000000000e+03
H1:SUS-IM2_M1_OFFSET_Y 1 -3.000000000000000e+02

H1:SUS-IM3_M1_OFFSET_P 1 2.850000000000000e+03
H1:SUS-IM3_M1_OFFSET_Y 1 3.000000000000000e+02

H1:SUS-IM4_M1_OFFSET_P 1 -2.420000000000000e+03
H1:SUS-IM4_M1_OFFSET_Y 1 -9.800000000000000e+02

* Confirming that the new alignment offset channels were in the autoBurt.req file and saving/committing a new safe.snap.

* Getting the DAQ restarted so the new channels/rates would take effect.

NOTE: while researching what LLO had done, I discovered an error in l1susim: IM1 is supposed to be a call to the HAUX_MASTER.mdl part, but the link is broken, so it refers to a local copy (IM2-4 are OK). The local copy has the filter based alignment offsets and so works with the new screens, but the data rates for associated channels are still the old 2048 rather than the new 256.
