Bug in make_psr_make for pulsars using FB0 for orbital frequency #7

Description
@SafferA and I just found that several of the NANOGrav black-widows are not having their t-scrunch times set appropriately because of the line below. That line requires a PB to be present in the stored ephemeris, but that does not exist for those pulsars using FB* params. That means that those pulsars then default to the standard scrunch time.
nanopipe/scripts/make_psr_make
Line 256 in 78996d7
| pb_sec = float(arch.get_ephemeris().get_value('PB').replace('D','e'))*86400.0 |
I don't know if there is an easy workaround in nanopipe since vap -E for those pulsars doesn't print FB0 either! So this might also be a PSRCHIVE bug.
