    keyword=re: number of events in halog end-of-run

    Actually everything is fine with halog end-of-run summary of num events.
    
    What was displayed was "trigger-10".  Maybe it should not have been.
    So I've changed the GUI to say it is trigger-10 being shown.
    I also have added another line to show trigger-5 which is (usually)
    the total number of events.  This should clarify the halog entries.
    
    The meaning of "trigger-10" and "trigger-5" is clear to the experts
    and something specific to this expt.
    
    I looked in detail at run 8134.  By reading the 6 CODA files, I see
    that the number of physics events was 184,026 which is precisely the
    number in the L1A scaler (13th channel) and also precisely the number
    of in "trigger-5".  Meanwhile, "trigger-10" was 215,230.  All is well.
    
    BTW, there are also 4739 "special" events like scalers and EPICS and
    a few others in this run.  But they don't get counted in scalers.
    
    Reminder, the end-of-run scalers are saved in 
    ~a-onl/scaler/scaler_history.dat
    and code exists to read and parse that (adaq acct.; goxscaler, README)
