Auto updating par

[william-aaron-CFA]

Description:

This PR addresses issues #9 for updating the .par files automatically with data from monthly updated glimmondb.sqlite3 databse through the mta controlled op_limits.db. Proposed cronjob timings for this new script conform to existing update timings of op_limits database in the cronjob: (35 0 1 cd /data/mta/Script/MSID_limit; /data/mta/Script/MSID_limit/Scripts/compare_database_wrap_script)

Testing:

Test operates at functional level. Follow procedure to view test outcomes.

1. Fetch the auto_updating_par branch

4. Navigate to the config_mon/test/outTest directory to view the acis_temp.par test output.

   if hasattr(mod,'PAR_FILE_LIST'):
       mod.PAR_FILE_LIST = [f"{PARENT_DIR}/acis_temp.par"]

   code block in the test_parameter_update.py file if you desire to test the full script output across all files. You may also revise...

   if hasattr(mod,'OVERWRITE_WITH_OP_LIMITS'):
       mod.OVERWRITE_WITH_OP_LIMITS = True
   if hasattr(mod,'OVERWRITE_WITH_ACIS'):
       mod.OVERWRITE_WITH_ACIS = True
