Model: G4NeutronHPorLCapture

Description:
- This model generates the final state for neutron capture using the high precision neutron model when sufficient high precision data is available for the selected element or isotope. When there is insufficient data, the neutron is captured using the less precise Low Energy Parameterized model.
Invocation:
- ```
G4NeutronHPorLCapture* captureModel = new G4NeutronHPorLCapture();
G4HadronCaptureProcess* capProcess = new G4HadronCaptureProcess();
capProcess->RegisterMe(captureModel);
processManager->AddDiscreteProcess(capProcess);
```
- NOTE: User must first download high precision neutron data files from Geant4 web page to a local directory, say G4NDL/, then
```
setenv NeutronHPCrossSections /G4NDL
```
