/// We have f_ij = g_i s_j where f_ij is the flux recorded for chip i and integration j, g_i is the gain for
/// the i-th chip, s_j is the flux of the source in the j-th integration.  An initial guess for the chip gains
/// might be helpful, but is not necessary.  The matrix of background measurements contains the background for
/// the flat fields used in the combination, as a function of exposure (rows) and chip (columns).  The
/// exposure fluxes and chip gains are modified upon return with the solved values.  Returns true if the
/// solution converged.
