The beam-stop projection (ShadowAccumulatorGPU) and the defective-pixel sums (HotPixelFinderGPU) are
now kept one per card, fed by workers pinned t % gpus like the other pre-scan workers, and folded
into the first card when they are read (cudaMemcpyPeer + an integer add / max-with-count kernel).
All of them are integer sums or a maximum with the first-value rule, so the fold is order-free and
the result is identical to one card's. With one card nothing is folded.
The pre-scan sample is read once and kept (compressed as stored; up to 2 GiB, a frame past that is
read again where it is wanted) for the spot measurement and the defective pixels, which read every
frame again each before - a CBF/marCCD/SMV frame was decoded on the host three times.
A beam-stop detection that finds no shadow leaves the mask as it was, so every probe copy of the run
repeated it on the same inputs. Its answer (shadow, ring centre, mean projection) is now kept in a
memo shared with the copies, keyed on the sampled frames, the geometry the rings are drawn in, the
polarization and the binary mask; up to 4 entries.
Debug TIMING lines for the pre-scan's parts (read and projection, beam stop, defective pixels, spot
measurement). New tests: two accumulators/finders folded match one fed every frame.
