Pulsar tools

Wiki Markup_From Masa:_ "In the pulsar tool development, we added a geocentric option to *gtbary*. Two JIRA issues ([PULS-46|https://jira.slac.stanford.edu/browse/PULS-46] and [47|https://jira.slac.stanford.edu/browse/PULS-47]) were fixed. Some tools add leapsecfile parameter (hidden) to specify a leap second file, just in case a user want it other than a system default. As a result, all the pulsar tools change their version numbers. The latest versions as of this writing is timeSystem v6, pulsarDb v8, pulsePhase v8, and periodSearch v10r2p1." \ [N.B. These updates are not yet in a release version of Science Tools]

I've modified gtobssim to return zero livetime if a candidate event arrives during a gap. The upshot is that gtobssim can now be run reliably on FT2 files with gaps. (observationSim v8r2)
