RankingStatPDF: adjust extinction model
- with V(t) weighting in the numerator, some candidates get rejected by the ranking statistic because they get collected during times when the PSD hadn't settled yet. this results in a spike of zero-lag events at ln L = -inf, which can confuse the extinction model's attempt to find the mode of the zero-lag ranking statistic's distribution when fitting the extinction model to the data. - this patch zeros the first few bin counts of the zero-lag PDF before the fit, and makes an equivalent adjustment to the threshold selection in FAPFAR, in order to (help) make sure the mode select for these is the mode we care about.
