- don't let zero-length strings get mapped to None on input

- will fix make check

- SuperskyMetrics **metrics is an output-only struct (default behaviour)

- code has not been unique to burst search for many years, and recent API changes give us a chance to finally rename.

- finally got around to testing the qhull version.  it works and so I finally know the "exactly" correct values for the pre-computed fast-path.

- rely on *args, **kwargs instead of passing a "params" blob around

- rebuilt.  better than it was before.  better, stronger, faster

 - refs #6000

- Refs #6011

- it's normal for PDFs to be 0, but that leads to complains about divide-by-zero and invalid value in subtract in the .normalize() method of BinnedLnPDF.

> SEOBNRv3: Reduce error when computing finite difference derivatives of analytic SEOBNRv3 Hamiltonian by increasing the finite difference step size. This greatly improves agreement with SEOBNRv3_opt (which uses analytical derivatives).
> SEOBNRv3/SEOBNRv3_opt: alpha Euler angle is not unwrapped properly in a small fraction (~ 1/100,000) of cases. This is corrected by replacing an if() statement with a simple while() loop that rarely goes to the second iteration.

 - Compilation error caused by declaration of params being an incompatible
   size with that required for the function it is passed to
 - refs #5730

 - sprintf -> snprintf
 - fall-through in switch blocks

- program is abandonware and no longer compilable on gcc 7 due to possible unhandled string truncations in snprintf()
