DipoleCentroidControl and DipoleFluxControl. Each centroid and flux
measurement will have _neg (negative) and _pos (positive lobe) fields.

The first set of measurements uses a "naive" algorithm for centroid and flux
measurements, implemented in NaiveDipoleCentroidControl and
NaiveDipoleFluxControl. The algorithm uses a naive 3x3 weighted moment around
the nominal centroids of each peak in the Source Footprint. These algorithms
fill the table fields ip_diffim_NaiveDipoleCentroid* and
ip_diffim_NaiveDipoleFlux*
The first set of measurements uses the SDSS algorithm for centroid and flux
measurements.
This centroid will be used as a fallback, if the below dipole fit fails or if the source does not have a positive and negative peak to attempt a dipole fit to.

The second set of measurements undertakes a joint-Psf model on the negative and
positive lobe simultaneously. This fit simultaneously solves for the negative
