Remove auto-sift, allow manual shift in calculate_D_absolute
Turns out there are operational limitations that don't allow a deterministic removal of the 180 degree ambiguity that exists for calculated Declination. The one previously implemented only worked for a subset of observatories. Now, we force all calculated Declinations to point north(ish), which is valid for most of the globe, and all of the USGS observatories. However, if we ever take absolute measurements in a location where the local magnetic field points south(ish), we can simply provide a "shift" of +/- 180 degrees.
