A pedestal-subtracted JUNGFRAU background is mostly empty pixels; the variance per unit mean leaves
out the zeros and read 6.7 keV per photon on a 12 keV run in keV, 2.4 on a 4.6 keV one, so such
files needed --gain. MeasureGain now also histograms the sampled pixel values and takes the gain from
the single-photon peak (background_gain::PhotonPeak): the highest bin past the zero peak's descent,
standing 5 sigma above the valley before it, narrow (below half height a quarter of its value away),
and repeated by a two-photon peak near twice its value. Where there is no such pair the variance per
unit mean decides as before. Float frames are read for the measurement at a sixteenth of their unit,
so a photon of a few keV is resolved rather than rounded to whole keV.
Measured: float32 keV JUNGFRAU files 11.96 (photon energy 12.04 keV) and 4.53 (4.57 keV); the int16
photon copies show no peak past the first bin and keep the 0.55 variance answer, i.e. stay in
photons; the SACLA MPCCD and PAL Rayonix files show humps, not photon peaks, and measure as before.
A gain the file states or --gain gives still wins. Rotation is untouched (the pre-scan's CCD gain
uses only the variance estimator).
