Bias creation

The Michelle ARRAY_TESTS recipe averages two bias frames, sets the observation type to BIAS for the result, and files the mean bias frame in the calibration system. The filed frame includes the observation number in its name.
[MICHELLE/_ARRAY_TEST_STATISTICS_, _FILE_BIAS_]

Likewise the UIST ARRAY_TESTS recipe averages a group of bias frames and sets its variance to a population variance estimate. The mean bias frame filed with the calibration system includes the group number in its name.
[UIST/_BIAS_GROUP_]
