WET-006: pairing vs stacking with WET-001 data

SITCOMTN-139

We compare the default approach for wavefront estimation: using individual donut pairs and averaging their final Zk estimate (pairing) to aggregating the donut stamps prior to wavefront fitting, and using their combined information to obtain a single set of Zernike polynomials per stacked donut image (stacking).
