Dark subtraction

This is as simple as it sounds. The dark frame selected through the calibration system must have the same exposure time and read type as the object frames. There is no dark subtraction for chopped data as processed by the NOD_CHOP collection of recipes, as the differencing of nodded pairs of frames makes the operation unnecessary.
