Subject: clusters/halo: Support to check whether halo is genuine

Add the 'is_genuine()' method to check whether the radio halo is genuine
by comparing the flux density to the fiducial value.  Two new configuration
options (fiducial_freq and fiducial_factor) are added to specify the
frequency and limit whether the radio halo is regarded as genuine.
