Rename sh2power to sh2metric, new "entropy" operation #2985

Had previously thought about this from the perspective of registration, but have also been looking at a collaborator dataset where doing satisfactory masking for FBA has been difficult, and using that to revised FBA documentation (#2685).

Here is the WM FOD l=0 image, which you can see doesn't do a very good job of separating what one would like to analyse vs. not:

Then this is the entropy of the WM FOD template (normalised & inverted):

Was potentially a little too idealistic about this metric being useful as a scalar surrogate for multi-contrast registration (as multiple SH images can be provided as input to the entropy calculation). Kind of interesting, and maybe useful in specific use cases such as the unusual template above, but not a game-changer.
