Get labware names, files, xyz coordinates from deck layout file

@bowlineknot - Yes, you can parse out labware definition files as well as deck coordinates from deck layouts using VENUS commands. Linked below are a couple posts that provide more context:

By whatever programmatic preference, you would compile the labware IDs of the deck positions you are interested in, and use the above tools to retrieve the relevant data which could then be written to a file.
