[Clas12_software] Adding HTCC to Reconstruction

[Mac Mestayer]

Hello Whitney;

Some quick answers; I'll be on vacation and back on Tuesday, Aug 4.

- the DC decoder contains the map for the DC from crate,slot,channel
to sector.layer,wire.  Gagik has that code.

- simulating the DAQ and trigger in general is a big job.  If you want
to do it, you will have to talk with Maurizio Ungaro and with Sergey
Boiarinov.
