Updated MEDM screens on Beckhoff vacuum machines
Closes WP 11686.

I tried to use WinSCP to copy the Git for Windows installation file across from opslogin0, but it would not connect (something about the encryption protocol I think). I tried to update WinSCP, but the browser would not connect to the site (outdated Internet Explorer maybe?). I then recalled the Samba share I had set up, and copied the Git installer over from there. (For future reference, open the Windows file explorer and put \\10.20.0.118 in the location and use the username and password from the shared secrets page.) I first tried to install the 64 bit version, but was told by the installer that it was a 32 bit machine, so downloaded the 32 bit installer (Git-2.43.0-32-bit.exe) onto opslogin0 and copied it to the Samba share and then copied it from there onto the Windows machine. I received a warning when installing it that "Git for Windows (32-bit) is nearing its end of support. More information at https://gitforwindows.org/32-bit.html". I then cloned https://git.ligo.org/cds/ifo/vacuum/h0/medm.git onto the Desktop and ran the "/Source/create_medms.py" script in it. I changed the path in the sitemap.xlaunch shortcut to point to the cloned repo. The medm screens should now be up to date on all of the vacuum Beckhoff machines.

This reads like I just did this on one machine, but it was done for all except for h0vacly and h0vacmr, which already had Git installed from alog 65799. For those I just had to clone the new repo for the medm screens and update the sitemap.xlaunch.
