update find_peaks algorithm
This commit updates the find peaks algorithm with several improvements which together drastically improve its ability to find Cerenkov rings: - when computing the Hough transform, instead of charge we weight each PMT hit by the probability that it is a multi-photon PMT hit - we don't subtract off previously found rings (this makes the code simpler and I don't think it previously had a huge effect) - ignore PMT hits who are within approximately 5 degrees of any previously found ring (previously we ignored all hits within the center of previously found rings) - ignore PMT hits which have a time residual of more than 10 nanoseconds to hopefully ignore more reflected and/or scattered light - switch from weighting the Hough transform by exp(-fabs(cos(theta)-1/n)/0.1) -> exp(-pow(cos(theta)-1/n,2)/0.01). I'm still not sure if this has a huge effect, but the reason I switched is that the PDF for Cerenkov light looks closer to the second form. - switch to calling quad with f = 1.0 in test-find-peaks (I still need to add this update to fit.c but will do that in a later commit).
