This PR adds a
contrast_methodkeyword todeblend_sourcesandSourceFinderto select the flux used by the deblending contrast criterion. The default ofNonecurrently resolves to'basin', which preserves the existing behavior (the fraction is the total flux in the source's watershed basin, with iterative removal of below-contrast basins), and may change to'saddle'in version 4.0. The new'saddle'method instead measures the flux a source holds above the saddle level where it separates from its neighbors.
