Updating list of _audit.schema

Dear COMCIFS,

FIrst of all, Happy New Year to you all, I hope you've all been keeping
well.

I am writing to propose updating the list of _audit.schema in the core
dictionary. Normally this would be core DMG business, but as it concerns
most dictionaries covered by COMCIFS I believe this is the more appropriate
forum. This has been prompted by reviewing the DDLm dictionary chapters for
the next edition of Volume G. Please examine the list below and discuss any
changes you would like to see.  The formal changes to the dictionary can be
viewed as a diff at this link:
https://github.com/COMCIFS/cif_core/pull/190/commits/5e3b84e6f84997f9822f704a9f380ff500e0410e

As a reminder, the _audit.schema dataname indicates that one or more
categories have become looped relative to the core CIF dictionary. For
example, where multiple crystals are used in a measurement, the
exptl_crystal category becomes looped. Ideally software will check this
dataname and exit if the dataname has an incompatible value.

best wishes,
James.
