Eddie Hebert 39f44a44f8 Reverting changes MovingStandardDevWindow.
Though the addition of tracking mulitple values in the window
is powerful, the changes broke behavior of existing algorithms
by changing method signatures and names.

So temporarily reverting these changes, to be pulled back in when
a way to have the multiple fields tracked with the existing API
is written, or a cutover of the API is figured out and determined.
