Add "confidence" parameter to `metrics.probability_of_false_alarm` #205

Confidence (C) is 1 - FAR. This can be accomplished with a simple parameter and a partial function.

To completely duplicate the reference below, metrics will also need a way to accommodate "near misses" and "near hits" given some tolerance.

Should also consider adding convenience methods called false_alarm_ratio and false_alarm_rate.
