[g13] bad tagger counters in database

I've loaded my study of the bad tagger counters for g13a into the
caldb database (TAG_CALIB -> status -> tage and -> tagt_left and
tagt_right). I only looked from 53164 - 53862 (I ignored LH2 and
53998 - 54035 data).
However, I didn't feel like poring over all of the anahist files to
figure out exactly which run each counter died at. Instead I
determined the vast majority of the range over which each counter was
definitely bad, and set it for those. That way the database does not
cut out the tagger counters for too large of a range. It is not
necessary to have the exact run number that each counter died because
you don't want to recalculate the acceptance correction for every
single run range where something new dies anyway. As long as you set
the run number for gpp within the run range, it'll be rejected (i.e.
53333, 53460, 53800, etc).
However, when you calculate cross-sections you'll want to extend the
cut range PAST the runs where it was bad. You can see the details in
the "Actual Run Ranges" section at:

This is probably more info than most people wanted, but if you have
specific questions please email me and let me know.
