New Neuropixel 1.0 NHP probe geometries not handled properly

Hello,

It looks like probeinterface hasn't been updated for the newest Neuropixel geometries. There are new NHP 1.0 probes (described here https://www.neuropixels.org/_files/ugd/328966_97dfdcf9421a41ae9c57c9047928834c.pdf)

They are NP 1.0, so they are imDatPrb_type = 0, but the layout is NOT staggered, as is assumed in oi.py line 822. You can tell these probes apart from the older ones because of the imDatPrb_pn, which, for example would be NP1015 for the 1.0 NHP short linear probe.

Can you update io.py to handle these cases?

Hi Jonathan.
Would you have a spikeglx meta file to provide us to make the fix ?
Thanks.
