missing -v188 and -v240 options for Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000524AS

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

r3402 added the Seagate ST31000524AS drive to an existing "Seagate Barracuda 7200.12" drivedb.h entry which has an empty Presets field, and this entry still lists no Presets in the current version of the database:

# smartctl -d sat -P show /dev/sdb
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.0-113-generic] (local build)

Drive found in smartmontools Database.  Drive identity strings:
MODEL:              ST31000524AS
FIRMWARE:           JC45
match smartmontools Drive Database entry:
MODEL REGEXP:       ST3(160318|25031[128]|320418|50041[038]|750(518|52[358])|100052[348]|320413|160316)AS
FIRMWARE REGEXP:    .*
MODEL FAMILY:       Seagate Barracuda 7200.12
ATTRIBUTE OPTIONS:  None preset; no -v options are required.

However, testing shows the drive's data actually matches the "-v 188,raw16 -v 240,msec24hour32" formatting that appear in the database for many other Seagate drive families:

# smartctl -d sat  -A /dev/sdb | grep "^188 \|^240"; echo; smartctl -d sat -v 188,raw16 -v 240,msec24hour32 -A /dev/sdb | grep "^188 \|^240"

240 Head_Flying_Hours       0x0000   100   253   000    Old_age   Offline      -       89367 (98 226 0)

188 Command_Timeout         0x0032   100   099   000    Old_age   Always       -       1 1 1
240 Head_Flying_Hours       0x0000   100   253   000    Old_age   Offline      -       89367h+06m+58.622s

(A couple days ago I was running a test to make sure the m+s components of the field were in fact counting seconds, and I happened to catch it roll over the hour as well:

# while true; do echo -n "$(date +%H:%M:%S)   " ; smartctl -d sat  -v 188,raw16 -v 240,msec24hour32 -A /dev/sdb| awk '/^240/ {print $10}'; sleep 10; done
23:41:40   89294h+59m+59.416s
23:41:51   89295h+00m+09.507s
23:42:01   89295h+00m+19.605s
23:42:11   89295h+00m+29.696s
23:42:21   89295h+00m+39.786s

Same is true for at least a few other models that match this entry, e.g.
