Allow particles that have been enriched in a galaxy to count as processed #91

Currently a particle can be enriched directly in a galaxy, and still count as not-processed.

To change this, I may need to work with the index of first accretion (ind_first_acc) for material enriched by the main galaxy.

Original comment by Zachary Hafen (Bitbucket: zhafen, GitHub: zhafen)

Due to a bug in how I was plotting metallicity distributions, I recently discovered that only ~5% of IGM accretion is enriched while in a galaxy. This is a small enough fraction that we can put this on hold.
