Handle negative pixels in level 2 images #256

The new camera 1 has noisier darks that leads to negative values in some pixels, some of which trigger artifacts in the enhanced intensity images. This was also present in the other cameras but to a lesser extent.

Negative pixels in the useful for of the image could be set to the average values of the neighboring ones, if they are isolated bad pixels. This is best done at the level2 after masking, leaving the level 1 untouched.

Need to find an approach that improves quality of images without compromising the integrity of the data.
