L1T demonstrator tools: Support for EMP v0.7.x buffer file format

[tswilliams]

PR description:

This pull request extends the existing phase-2 L1T buffer I/O buffer text file utilities by adding support for the new format for data files from the EMP firmware/software framework. No existing functionality is removed - the new EMP buffer file format is simply added as a new option. The new EMP framework version that requires this buffer format is already being used for firmware builds for the phase-2 L1T correlator, GTT and GT.

PR validation:

The following checks have been run on this code (beyond confirming that the code compiles):

• Ran scram b code-checks and scram b code-format.
• Ran test/gtt/createFirmwareInputFiles_cfg.py with format set to EMPv2 and inspected output files to verify their format.
• Ran test/gtt/verifyFirmwareOutput_cfg.py to confirm that the new test/gtt/example_*.txt files were parsed correctly
