split_transects_from_pcl places data values into x-bins (x-coordinates and) and z-bins (z-coordinates)

split_transects_from_pcl(
  pcl_data,
  transect.length,
  marker.spacing,
  DEBUG = FALSE,
  data_dir,
  output_file_name
)

`pcl_data`	data frame of unprocessed PCL data.
`transect.length`	total transect length. Default value is 40 meters.
`marker.spacing`	distance between markers in meters within the PCL data. Default value is 10 m.
`DEBUG`	check to see order of final output. Default is FALSE.
`data_dir`	directory where PCL data .csv are stored if value is used.
`output_file_name`	old code relic that doesn't do much.

Function to add two additional columns to the pcl dataset, one for the segment (which should only be from 1-4) and is designated by a -99999999 value in the return_distance column The only required parameters are the data frame of pcl data, with the length of transect and the marker spacing.
