 Please note: Figures 2, 5, and 8 show slight deviations from the published figures in the paper. Published Figures 2 and 5 miss a few data points. This error slipped in during the review process. Importantly, the presented fits are identical in the (correct) figures in this repository and in the manuscript. These deviations thus do not affect the scientific conclusions.
