Strong preamble detection even with --aggressive.

Browse Source 
To try to decode messages with a fundamentally flawed preamble is mostly
a useless waste of CPU time.

The new aggressive mode still detects a sensible percentage of
additional messages because of the error tolerance and two-bits fixes
but does not waste your CPU time.

The algorithm in aggressive mode is modified in the following ways:
* Preamble detection is weakened to be more liberal in what is consdered valid.
* Up to two demodulation errors are tolerated (adjacent entires in the magnitude
vector with the same eight). Normally only messages without errors are
checked.
