Support for thin type file structure

[oven8]

I've added modifications to support thin type file structures. The main differences are noted below:

1. There are 312 words instead of 273.
2. Particle data and Cherenkov data contains 8 words (instead of 7) for each particle rsp. with the last one being the weight.

One important change: I had to remove the classmethod decorator over the parse_data_blocks method in the CorsikaFile class.

The code passed the existing pytest modules. I have not added new modules to test for thin binary data files. However I've separately tested with thin data and things seems to be working fine so far. I might modify the test files to add new modules to check for the changes.

Hi,

Thanks @oven8, this looks mostly good.

I think we mainly need a smallish test file with the thin option enabled to make sure this keeps working.

Some of the duplications can be removed and the test paths change needs to be reverted.

I'll add an update with the changes you recommended as well as a small test module.

I have added thin (Cherenkov) binary data file and modified some of the test modules. Let me know if more changes are required.

@oven8 This looks mostly good, thanks!

The one concern I have is that the particle test file at 20 MB is quite large for a test file. Could you maybe create a smaller one, the Cherenkov file is fine size-wise!

I've swapped the thin test file with a smaller one (previously there were 200 events now 5). Let me know if this is okay.

@oven8 I am sorry this took so long, looks good now. Feel free to ping me more often next time.

I am going to squash the commits here to make sure the larger test files that were here in intermediate commits don't land in the project history.

Thanks a lot for this contribution!

Thanks for all the help! It was nice collaborating with you!
