Better names and comments in INPUTS.conf
Until now, the dataset's configuration names had a 'WFPC2' prefix. But this very alien to anyone that is not familiar with the history of the Hubble Space Telescope (the camera is no longer used! Its just used here since its one of the standard FITS files from the FITS standard webpage). With this commit the variable names have been modified to be more readable and clear (having a 'DEMO-' prefix). Also the comments of 'INPUTS.conf' (describing the purpose of each variable) were edited and made more clear.
