Cycles Denoising: Skip confidence interval test for outlier central pixels

If the central pixel is an outlier, the denoiser is supposed to predict its
value from the surrounding pixels. However, in some cases the confidence
interval test would reject every single surrounding pixel, which leaves the
model fitting with no data to work with.
