SCAN_ALIGNMENT_FDS automically takes IFO to ASQZ and back to SQZ.

Naoki, Sheila, Camilla.

We edited SQZ_MANAGER.py state SCAN_ALIGNMENT_FDS to now automatically take go to Anti-SQZ (hard-coded value 100 with CLF phase negative sign), tune the asqz angle and then do the 4 degrees of freedom for ZM4/6 alignments.  When it's finished it will take sqz angle back to the original. Total time taken ~5minutes.

It's still best to run SCAN_SQZANG after this has ran to find the best angle for squeezing (another 2 minutes). Then take SQZ_MANAGER to FREQ_DEP_SQZ to go into Observing.

OpsInfo:  If squeezing is bad (see notes in wiki) and you have Jenne's permission, you can now optimize SQZ alignment by taking SQZ_MANGER to SCAN_ALIGNMENT_FDS, then SCAN_SQZANG before back to FREQ_DEP_SQZ. Total time ~8 minutes. SQZ Wiki updated.
