Limited dust extinction curve coverage for NIRCam LW filters #866

Description

@galaxyumi

The wavelength coverage of most available dust extinction curves, with the exception of G23, is limited for the NIRCam long-wavelength (LW) channel filters. These curves typically cut off at x=0.3 [1/micron], corresponding to 3.33$\mu$m, which prevents the calculation of extinguished stellar photometry in these redder filters.

While G23 offers a much wider wavelength range ('x' = [1.0 / 32.0, 1.0 / 0.0912]), it is currently incompatible with the BEAST verification settings, which strictly require fAs to be defined as a list of floats.
