FAHlog Stats: CSV update...

If you are using FAHlog Stats to monitor your folding machines there is an updated CSV file with all the new proteins thanks to DavidRa.

I've just updated the CSV file to include all the new Tinkers and other units. It's gone from 6K to 15K.

There is one non-working protein - p1488 - I can't seem to fix that one so that FAHLogStats works properly.
