MIP dependent frames livetime factor FC2

If in epframes MIP rejection is switched on (screening of residual MIPs) then the EXPOSURE extension contains also information about the discarded columns (FDISCLIN) per frame for each individual CCD. This yields a similar livetime factor
\begin{displaymath} FC2 = 1 - {\rm FDISCLIN}/64\;. \end{displaymath} (2)
