+-  Now added an option for the vanadium normalisation for Polaris to be done either using relative (`pdf`) or absolute normalisation (`pdf_norm`). This manifests as the ability to set `mode : pdf` or `mode : pdf_norm` within your `polaris_config.yaml`. Alternatively this can be done within scripts using `setup_inst_object(mode="PDF")` or `setup_inst_object(mode="PDF_NORM")` and equivalently elsewhere. Some changes have also happened under the hood to remove where relative normalisation was being forced.
