This issue is connected with the following discussion at the forum

http://rest-forum.unizar.es/t/obsolete-or-duplicated-gas-definitions/508

Ideally we would fix the value of W (average ionization potential of the molecules inside the gas mixture) at the time of gas generation. Actually this value is given at the RML, and many values at the server https://sultan.unizar.es/gasFiles/gases.rml contain wrong values.

Therefore, the best would be that we do not define manually W at the RML, but its value is calculated and registered directly at the associated TRestDetectorGas metadata member.

The calculation could be done for example using the table proposed at the forum by @cmargalejo

In the PR above we implemented extraction of W and Fano factor from the gas, but requires Garfield to be installed.
