/** pmSourceLocalSky()
 *
 * Measure the local sky in the vicinity of the given source. The Radius
 * defines the square aperture in which the moments will be measured. This
 * function assumes the source pixels have been defined, and that the value of
 * Radius here is smaller than the value of Radius used to define the pixels. The
 * annular region not contained within the radius defined here is used to measure
 * the local background in the vicinity of the source. The local background
 * measurement uses the specified statistic passed in via the statsOptions entry.
 * This function allocates the pmMoments structure. The resulting sky is used to
 * set the value of the pmMoments.sky element of the provided pmSource structure.
