GPA update for SEISS MPS-HI and MPS-LO L1b IFC leakage

This update adds logic to determine whether or not to perform flux calculations based on how close in time in-flight calibration (IFC) modes have occurred. If an IFC has happened within the past 2 seconds, then processing will not continue, and metadata will be written indicating this occurred. Only the metadata format changes. The serialized output format will not change.
