This PR adds initial priorities and
NUMOBSto target files forBACKUPconditions to make them work as ledgers. Prior to this PR,BACKUP(orsupp) targets were treated separately (as "filler"). After this PR,BACKUPtargets are treated more like their own separate observing program intended for"BACKUP"conditions.To reflect the fact that
BACKUPtargets are now more likeBRIGHTandDARKtargets, the directory structure has been reorganized to replace occurrences ofsuppwithbackupfor such targets.In addition, this PR allows ledgers to be written over a subset of pixels rather than for the entire survey. This facilitates easier testing, and will also allow programs to be quickly written in smaller regions of the sky.
These are additional steps towards being ready for the ".1% Survey". Still to-do:
BACKUPtargets actually work seamlessly with the automated MTL procedures.zcaton disk, and conduct the whole MTL loop, updating the ledgers.
