The Strip acquisition software does not save valid values in the two attributes FIRST_SAMPLE and LAST_SAMPLE of the root group, because this would be too time-consuming. The solution I adopted in hdf5db.py was to compute these number by iterating over all the datasets and looking for the minimum and maximum valid MJD values.
This PR implements the --update-hdf5 switch in the script build_hdf5_database.py, which forces the code to write the compute MJD range back in the HDF5 files, if this is not already in place.
