Removes the pipeline dark correction from BCD FITS files and adds a user-defined dark calibration file. The dark calibration can not just be removed, but instead needs to be backed out along with the other calibrations in the opposite order of how they were applied in the IRAC pipeline. The header is then updated with the filename of the user defined dark.

The main code is called change_dark_calibrate.pro, and an example of how to call it is:

change_dark_calibrate, '2', 'r71326720', '/Users/jkrick/external/irac_warm/subarr_phot/pid1367/', '/Users/jkrick/external/irac_warm/darks/staring/staringdark_s2s_ch2.fits'
