Fix energy grid for photoelectric cross sections
Comparing binding energies in incoh.data and xcom_photo.data I found that for elements Z=88 and Z=90 the L1 binding energy in xcom_photo.data was four times larger than the one found in incoh.data. The differences in the L2 and L3 binding energies were 5% and 20%, respectively. These large discrepancies were traced to an error in the energy value immediately below the 100 keV point near their K shell binding energy Eb_K. The K shell binding energies for these elements lies above 100 keV and two equal energy points are used at the K edge, representing the jump in the cross section. However the energy point below 100 keV was also set to Eb_K rather than 80 keV.
