V3opt fix integration dense output

This small fix prevents waveform generation failures in approximant SEOBNRv3_opt ("v3_opt"). The table below summarizes faithfulness results (of 100,000 tests) when comparing SEOBNRv3 ("v3") with v3_opt and v3_opt with "v3_opt_pert", which is the same as v3_opt but begins by perturbing mass 1 at the 15th significant digit. "master" refers to commit 3e53dbd1 on LALSuite's master branch.

Approximants Version < 0.8 < 0.9 < 0.95 <0.99 < 0.999 Failures
v3 vs. v3_opt master 4 40 135 1256 5731 0
v3 vs. v3_opt fix 4 40 135 1262 5698 0
v3_opt vs. v3_opt_pert master 2 7 25 248 1175 0
v3_opt vs. v3_opt_pert fix 1 7 25 243 1173 0

As you can see, the results are similar. But known cases of failures in v3_opt are remedied by this patch by

  1. preventing reading past the end of an array (replacing repeated addition with multiplication) and
  2. by preventing an "evenly-sampled-in-time" array from becoming unevenly sampled.
