#2556 two issues pointed out by Sadie -- eval and waveform dataset with time units

[Jeremy Faden]

Sadie has had a couple of nice problems recently, and I don't want to loose track of them so I'll drop them in here.

• [ ] (1) eval in a script was causing problems with the getParameters logic, preventing the script from running.
• [ ] (2) a waveform dataset with the dependent data having time units causes problems in the metadata tab.

The eval script is at sftp://jfaden.net/home/jbf/ct/autoplot/u/2023/sadie/20231024/psp_filterbank_v2_test.jy

1. load the script into the editor.
2. run the script. It will run for a while then crash with a syntax error.
3. when the eval statement is commented out, the script will run properly.

The PSP waveform scheme data with seconds as its units are: https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp_phys/data/psp/fields/l2/dfb_dbm_dvac/2021/psp_fld_l2_dfb_dbm_dvac_2021011706_v02.cdf?psp_fld_l2_dfb_dbm_dvac_time_series_seconds

Item 1, is done. There was a bug in the script's eval string, and in how the editor annotations (red squigglys) were drawn, where "<string>" would draw on the code which has a filename associated with it. As a rule, it's better to not show an annotation than to show an incorrect annotation.</string>

Item 2 is fixed. There was code which assumed a cadence in the offsets implied time location units, but seconds will also have offset units of seconds.

The next devel release will have these changes.

I made it so that a squiggly is drawn again, but since it's not clear that it is correct, it's a purple squiggly.
