 Description   

Datamodel.txt specifies that positions in the focal plane are specified in microns. On the Sept 2021 run (the first time we really designed pfsDesign files) we used mm, and on reflection this makes sense at those are the units used in PFI geometry.

I propose that we make this official, but am of course open to counter arguments.

As the original author, I agree with the proposed change.

No objections to the proposal from the DRP (meeting 2021-09-24).

I suggest not bumping the DAMD_VER because this change doesn't affect pfsConfig files in the wild; if we do bump the DAMD_VER, we should use DAMD_VER to modify values on read.

There's an associated trivial change needed in drp_instmodel.
