[Frost] The preliminary version of a FSU energy correction

Michael,

Here is the preliminary version of a FSU energy correction.
I need  to correct the FSU Momentum Correction a little. I will update it later.

In the following web, 
  http://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/g9/sungkyun/10-06-10.html

I used new vertex cut.
I have made Energy difference plots in several situations.
  * E_{mea. gamma} / E_{e}
  * E_id 
  * Z-Vertex [cm]
  * phi angle

plots are made after applying ELoss Correction and FSU Energy Correction.
I do not apply the Momentum Correction in these plots.
