[Ifeffit] Reported W L3-edge and L2-edge energy

[Matthew Marcus]

This paper:
Kraft, S., Stümpel, J., Becker, P., & Kuetgens, U. (1996). High 
resolution x‐ray absorption spectroscopy with absolute energy 
calibration for the determination of absorption edge energies. Review of 
Scientific Instruments, 67(3), 681-687.

has precision measurements of a bunch of edges including the Pt L-edges. 
  It shows an L3 energy of  11562.76(2)eV.  It refers to an older 
tabulation as well.  If you look at various tables, you find energies 
that vary considerably.  For instance, the paper cited above has the Fe 
K-edge as 7110.75eV, while some tabulations have it at 7112.
