Define dataset class for MeasurePhotonTransferCurve task

class PhotonTransferCurveDataset(IsrCalib):
    """A simple class to hold the output data from the PTC task.
    The dataset is made up of a dictionary for each item, keyed by the
    amplifiers' names, which much be supplied at construction time.
    New items cannot be added to the class to save accidentally saving to the
    wrong property, and the class can be frozen if desired.
    inputExpIdPairs records the exposures used to produce the data.
    When fitPtc() or fitCovariancesAstier() is run, a mask is built up, which
    is by definition always the same length as inputExpIdPairs, rawExpTimes,
    rawMeans and rawVars, and is a list of bools, which are incrementally set
    to False as points are discarded from the fits.
    PTC fit parameters for polynomials are stored in a list in ascending order
    of polynomial term, i.e. par[0]*x^0 + par[1]*x + par[2]*x^2 etc
    with the length of the list corresponding to the order of the polynomial
    plus one.
 
    Parameters
    ----------
    ampNames : `list`
        List with the names of the amplifiers of the detector at hand.
 
    ptcFitType : `str`

        or "FULLCOVARIANCE".
 
    covMatrixSide : `int`
        Maximum lag of covariances (size of square covariance matrices).
 
    kwargs : `dict`, optional
        Other keyword arguments to pass to the parent init.
