NAME: mms_bss_load
PURPOSE: To return burst-segment status (aka 'back-structure')
within a given time interval. Ask super-SITLs for the meaning of
each tag in the returned structure.
CALLING SEQUENCE: result = mms_bss_load(trange)
INPUTS: trange .... can be either string or double
EXAMPLE:
MMS> tr = time_double('2015-11-04/'+['04:00','05:00'])
MMS> s = mms_bss_load(trange=tr)
MMS> help, s
NOTES:
1. If no burst-segment were found within the trange, then this function returns -1
2. The timerange 'trange' should not be too big (like more than a month).
because LaTis (at SDC) will return an erratic result (as of 2016-09-02).
3. The FIN keyword is obsolete and should not be used if the above issue (item 2)
remains.
FIN: Set this keyword to find segments that 'finished' within trange
instead of querying segments that were defined within trange.
Because a segment can take many tens of days,
trange is expand to [tlaunch,tnow] when retrieving segment info.

NAME: mms_bss_query
PURPOSE:
To query the back-structure. Somehow, the SDC code "get_mms_burst_segment_status"
does not work well for querying by status. Here, the program loads the entire
set of the back-structure (or you can limit it by 'trange') and then analyze
the segments.
