calibration: take the beam centre from the rings too

The header's beam centre was the last input the ring fit had to be roughly
right about. Each ring is looked for in a window a few pixels of radius wide,
and a centre wrong by (dx, dy) puts a ring at a different q in every sector, so
past about ten pixels the ring leaves that window over much of the turn - and
the fit then reads its cos(phi) signal off whichever sectors are left, which are
the ones where the signal is weakest. A 20 px error ended 31 px wrong.

The rings answer this without a calibrant and without a distance. A powder ring
is a conic centred on the beam, so a wrong centre makes EVERY ring's radius
oscillate once per turn by the same amount: r(phi) = R + dx cos(phi) + dy
sin(phi), solved directly and pooled over every ring the profile shows, with
each ring searched about its own measured radius rather than about where a
standard says it should be.

Using it needs the extraction to follow the rings sector by sector, which is
what ProfileRingTrack now does - exactly, and in all five parameters at once,
by walking the ring in the geometry believed true and asking the binned geometry
what q and azimuth it would have given each point. That replaces the
flat-detector distance correction it grew out of.

Following the rings is not free, and the reason is worth stating: a window that
moves with phi makes every systematic of the peak finder - where the background
line is taken, how the centroid sits in the window - vary with phi as well, and
phi is exactly the axis the beam centre is read off. Measured, it costs rms
0.415 -> 0.525 px on a good 110 mm fit, and 0.831 when the window follows the
fitted tilt too. So a second measurement is taken with a window that is the same
in every sector - the binned geometry with only its DISTANCE replaced, which is
phi-independent by construction - and both are offered to the same rule that
ranks everything else here. Acquire by following, measure by holding still.

The seeded centre is likewise a hypothesis and not a belief. It reads a
once-per-turn wobble, and a tilt puts a term of that shape there too - one that
grows as the radius squared, where a centre error does not - so pooling the
rings absorbs part of the tilt into the centre. Believed outright it made a good
110 mm fit worse; offered as an alternative start it costs one more fit and
needs no rule about when it applies. It is skipped entirely below a pixel, where
it is not a different hypothesis at all, which keeps a well-headed run at 0.71 s.

Measured on the 110 mm LaB6 exposure, whose true PONI is 765.90: a header centre
20 px out now lands within 0.5 px, where before it landed 31 px away. All five
datasets are unchanged from their correct headers, and the distance still
recovers from any header between 25 and 1200 mm.

The limit is now understood rather than merely reached. Past a few pixels the
azimuthally averaged profile stops showing rings: a ring tracing r(phi) piles up
density where that turns round, so it averages into the two HORNS of the
sinusoid, at R-|d| and R+|d|. The radius finder reports two rings where there is
one, and the gap between them is 2|d| - the search window shrinks to exactly the
offset it was meant to span. That caps recovery at roughly half the ring
spacing, about 20 px here and failing by 40. Beyond it nothing is left in an
azimuthally binned profile, and --calibration spots, which works from the spot
positions themselves, is the method that still can.

One pre-existing limit measured and NOT introduced here: a wrong distance
together with a centre more than about 5 px out fails, because the centre error
splits the radius list the distance search reads. The committed code before this
change fails identically on those cases.

Also fixed: fit_from now takes a whole geometry rather than a distance, and the
declined-tilt refit was inheriting rot1/rot2 from it - pinning the tilt at
exactly the unvalidated value the gate had just rejected. Same fault the gate
exists to catch, one level up.
