[Clas12_calcom] Micromegas DAQ constants update

Hi all,
In order to reduce Micromegas data size, we now use "sparse samples" in
MVT. To compute a time information correctly we need this information to
be accessible during the decoding.
Since it's an electronic feature that we didn't know before facing this
data size issue, ccdb table was not made to hold this information. Then
I would like to add 2 constants and thus 2 columns to the current DAQ
table for micromegas (/daq/config/bmt). It's only a 1-row table so not
too heavy.
I think the only ways to add columns are to delete the table and create
a new one, or to create a duplicate table with a different name (like
/daq/config/bmt2). Even if it's not the spirit of ccdb, I clearly prefer
the first solution, to keep clean and clear tables, and since it's just
adding column, retro-compatibility will be fine.
The only issue I see is if someone is decoding a file at the moment the
table is deleted and then created again, he may have errors.
What do you think ?
Regards,
Guillaume
