NEW: Load positions from raw velociprobe files

[carterbox]

Purpose

To allow loading position data directly from raw position files. This will allow us to dynamically adjust how fly-scans are handled in the future by changing the new position_reduce function from this PR.

Approach

Copied the procedures from a Python script that Yi gave me. I tested this approach by comparing the output of the parsed files with the files produced by Yi's script and those that already exist in the fly145 folder on micdata.
