Pull request overview

This pull request adds functionality to support XGB (XGBoost) stereo reconstruction in the VERITAS event display system. The changes update various scripts to handle two separate XGB file suffixes for stereo reconstruction and gamma-hadron separation, replace the old single XGB version variable with these two new suffixes, and add support for XGB-based cut definitions in the analysis pipeline.

Changes:

• Replaced single XGBVERSION variable with XGBSTEREOFILESUFFIX and XGBGAMMAHADRONFILESUFFIX variables for handling two types of XGB files
• Added XGB reconstruction method settings that automatically configure direction and energy reconstruction when XGB cuts are detected
• Fixed zenith angle calculations and comparisons by switching from elevation to zenith angle and using floating-point arithmetic instead of integer comparisons
• Added four new XGB-based cut definitions (moderate2telXGB, soft2telXGB, hard2telXGB, hard3telXGB)
