lalapps_dumpSFT updates

David Keitel requested to merge david-keitel/lalsuite:lalapps_dumpSFT-updates into master

Description

@karl-wette Two changes to lalapps_dumpSFT so far, one more suggested subject to API requirements:

  • remove deprecated --noHeader option
  • add --Nmax (-N) option to only dump the N first SFTs and exit early when pattern/catalog contains >N individual SFTs (compatible with all 3 dump modes, test script extended to match) -- this would have often saved me some complicated wc/head maneuvers
  • I'd like to move the XLALprintDescriptor, XLALprintHeader, XLALprintData, XLALprintTimestamps functions to lalpulsar, either SFTfileIO.c or SFTutils.c (with suitably amended names). a) do I understand correctly that adding new functions to the library is still fine, b) which target file would be more appropriate? dropped after discussion
