All alternating exposure mode and multi-OBI mode observations WILL NOT BE PROCESSED CURRENTLY #333

I still don't quite know what is going on with these modes, and they are very rare in the context of the whole archive, so I am leaving them as unprocessable by DAXA for now.

The Chandra mission overriding method of 'assess_process_obs' will label them as unusable until I revisit the chandra_repro function I've implemented.

I will definitely come back to them at some point.

Something else to deal with to get this supported in the future will be the aspect solution files - there can be multiple at the best of times (for 'ordinary' observations), but there are also multiple for the multi-OBI mode data.

Every observation with a observation summary that has 'ASPSOLOBI' counts greater than 1 in the file counts section is in multi-OBI mode.

The vast majority of the observations (~99%) have an entry of 1 for ASPOLOBI counts.

65 currently have NO ASPOLOBI entry.

Of those, 34 HAVE AN ASPOL entry .

The rest seem to have no aspect files - running a test now reducing one with an ASPOL but no ASPOLOBI, and one with no ASPOL at all as far as I can see
