with 8 or 16 processes per group: * When duplicating an observation, also duplicate per-detector flags. * When redistributing an observation, reset per-detector flags before setting. * Make the common mode removal an option (default True) prior to noise estimation. This is useful if the data has already had the common mode removed prior to this operator. * When high-pass filtering data that is distributed by time slices there may be some chunks that are fully flagged. This should not be an error. Instead, the flagged timestream is set to zero. * When communicating overlaps, ensure that the span used (lagmax + half_average) is less than the number of samples.

Noise estimation code struggled with observations composed of a number of short intervals, especially when
lagmaxwas much longer than individual window.Furthermore, the data redistribution that is used to allow arbitrary crosscorrelators to be evaluated was affecting the results.
This PR addresses both of those concerns. Furthermore, it removes the unnecessary detrending step what was redundant with the highpass filter already being applied.
Finally, noise estimation is now performed independently in each interval. Earlier, the entire observation was analyzed together with the gaps between intervals simply flagged. This way there is no risk of sample pairs spanning two intervals.
