Review all density effect correction files distributed with EGSnrc #706

Description

@ftessier

We ought to verify all the *.density density effect correction files distributed with EGSnrc, under HEN_HOUSE/pegs4/density_corrections/, in light of the update to the estar.f code for ICRU Report 90. Also, in recent years we found that the NIST web interface to generate ESTAR data suffered some issues, specifically in regards to the user input for the mean excitation energy (I-value). It is unclear how the EGSnrc density correction files were generated originally, so at any rate a full review is warranted. Updated data should be consistent with ICRU Report 37, ICRU Report 90, and otherwise generated with the estar.f Fortran program, icru90 version.

See related #573 and #705 as well.
