1977 are 16 bits TDCs : Please update conversion from BOS

Hello,

to anybody who is working on a software that takes the E counters TDCs
values from the raw banks:
all the routines that have been used so far to convert the raw banks to
the TAGE bank are wrong (as far as I know)
because they were assuming 1977 TDCs were 12 bits TDCs (the mask on the
value was set to 00000FFF)
while they are actually 16 bits TDCs (the mask should be 0000FFFF)
this should be corrected in your code
