Note to tconvert users, we are working on expired leapseconds data file

If anyone is using tconvert, today it is producing the warning text:

tconvert WARNING: Leap-second info in /ligo/data/tcleaps/tcleaps.txt is no longer certain to be valid, and we were unable to get updated info from any LDAS web server.  Continuing with possibly-outdated info.

The leap seconds file expired one hour ago 2023-06-07 08:08:28.000000 PDT

This is just a warning message, the resulting GPS time is still correct. There have been no leapseconds applied to UTC since Dec 2016.

I encourage people to use the gpstime utility, which is better supported and less prone to these kinds of failures, instead of tconvert.

I've extended the expiration time for tconvert's tcleaps.txt to 2026-08-07 17:55:08.000000 PDT.
