far.py: don't convolve snr,chi numerators with KDE
- (snr, \chi^2) numerators are computed analytically. previously, changes to the KDE used to estimate the denominator PDF from sample histograms could change sensitivity measurements simply because of the effects those changes were having on the numerator signal model. this patch removes that confusion. - because the limited set of discrete prefactors used for constructing the numerator creates a stair-step effect, some amount of smoothing is desired in the numerator regardless. this is smoothing, not density estimation, they are distinct from one another although the same code has been used to accomplish both in the past. this patch moves that smoothing to where the source of the banding is in the code to disentangle it from the background density estimation. if the prefactor banding is adjusted, that smoothing can be adjusted as well without entangling it with the denominator's kernel design. - refs #2339
