indexamajig: Rename --min-gradient to --min-squared-gradient

The eventual aim of this is to deprecate the "--min-gradient" option,
resolving the long-standing confusion about whether this option is the
gradient or the squared gradient.

 CrystFEL considers all peak locations to be distances from the corner of the detector panel, in pixel units, consistent with its description of detector geometry (see 'man crystfel_geometry').  The software which generates the HDF5 or CXI files, including Cheetah, may instead consider the peak locations to be pixel indices in the data array.  Therefore, the peak coordinates from \fB--peaks=cxi\fR or \fB--peaks=hdf5\fR will by default have 0.5 added to them.  Use \fB--no-half-pixel-shift\fR if this isn't what you want.
 
-If you use \fB--peaks=zaef\fR, indexamajig will use a simple gradient search after Zaefferer (2000).  You can control the overall threshold and minimum squared gradient for finding a peak using \fB--threshold\fR and \fB--min-gradient\fR.  The threshold has arbitrary units matching the pixel values in the data, and the minimum gradient has the equivalent squared units.  Peaks will be rejected if the 'foot point' is further away from the 'summit' of the peak by more than the inner integration radius (see below).  They will also be rejected if the peak is closer than twice the inner integration radius from another peak.

 If you instead use \fB--peaks=peakfinder8\fR, indexamajig will use the "peakfinder8" peak finding algorithm describerd in Barty et al. (2014). Pixels above a radius-dependent intensity threshold are considered as candidate peaks (although the user sets an absolute minimum threshold for candidate peaks). Peaks are then only accepted if their signal to noise level over the local background is sufficiently high. Peaks can include multiple pixels and the user can reject a peak if it includes too many or too few. The distance of a peak from the center of the detector can also be used as a filtering criterion. Note that the peakfinder8 will not report more than 2048 peaks for each panel: any additional peak is ignored.
