CTF 3rd order gradiometers correction

[Vladimir Litvak]

Until the recent improvements (which are not yet default) fieldtrip
assumed that the data is 'raw'. Therefore source reconstruction was
not precise for data that was saved in 3rd gradient. The data is
indeed read as it's saved so for sensor level analysis there is no
problem. But the leadfields computed using grads read with the old ctf
reader are only suitable for the 'raw' setting.

Best,

Vladimir
