One of our QA sets has shown a regression associated with #468. This was triggered by selecting our Poisson process model in conjunction with a periodic event rate. Including the Poisson process at all in such cases is low value and since we don't properly deal with the change in variance associated with rate changes in this case it has undesirable side effects. This change simply removes it from model selection if we start modelling seasonality (we can revisit this if we do any work to better deal with the variance).
I also increased the parameter introduced in #468 (this means we revert slightly more to our old behaviour). Finally, I've rejigged reinitialisation of the multi-bucket model decay rate, which should have been matching the single bucket model.
