Algorithms for correcting current and not-unlikely future failures in FixXtalResp

Chul,

Wiki Markup
Here I've detailed the actions for FixXtalResp in the cases we currently understand. I've added a new CalXtalRecData status word definition \[at the bottom of this email\] adding Bill's corrected-energy bit and a bit to indicate that we've mitigated the failure.
