RFR: Have adaptive heuristic include only full cycles in average cycle time

We have observed cases when a high percentage of short cut cycles (i.e., when evacuation and update reference phases are skipped) may cause the heuristic to believe it can complete _any_ cycle in the time it takes to complete an abbreviated cycle. Triggering the cycle too late may lead to a degenerated cycle. Abbreviated "learning cycles" are similarly ignored.
A command line option has been added to disable this change in behavior and restore the previous behavior of including every cycle's time in the average time.
