CpSkyImageTask

CpSkyImageTask preprocesses exposures after IsrTask to mask detections so a cleaner background estimate can be measured.

Processing summary

CpSkyImageTask runs these operations:

1. Run MaskObjectsTask to identify and mask sources in the image.
2. Construct a single-detector FocalPlaneBackground model from the detection clean image.
