Lo pointing set and map background rates update #2647

@greglucas

Description

@greglucas

It is desirable to add a floor to the background and rate calculations on Lo. The issue is that you can have a flux go below the background levels and that impacts subsequent calculations.

The desired update is to use this equation in pointing sets and rates calculations:

{species}_rates = {species_rates} + background_rates / 100
background_rates = background_rates + background_rates / 100

So, add 1% background as a floor to the two rates values.
