Hadamard total deviation in allantools

Following on from modified total deviation mtotdev() the Hadamard total deviation htotdev() algorithm is very similar but instead of phase data takes frequency data. Now included in allantools.

Here's a comarison against Stable32 and the NIST SP 1065 table values.

There's no bias-correction for now, and apparently it is customary not to use htotdev(m=1) at an averaging-factor of 1, but instead use ohdev(m=1). This is why the 'raw' value from allantools at tau=1 in the plot below is a factor of 2 too low.
