Describe the Enhancement

This issue arose via the JTTI project meeting. For this project, we need the ability to run Wavelet-Stat without applying a categorical threshold to convert the data to a binary image instead. This task is to make the thresholding step optional and deal with any consequences of that change.

Be sure to:
(1) Make the Wavelet-Stat thresholding step optional in the config file
(2) Consider the scientific impact of this change. For example, this may make MSE no longer summable across scales.
(3) Consider the impacts to the PostScript and NetCDF output from Wavelet-Stat.
(4) Add new unit tests to exercise this functionality.
(5) Update the scientific and technical documentation in the MET User's Guide.

Recommend coordinating with May Wong to test the changes.
