      Description

      Nate Lust discovered an invalid read in afw::math::makeInterpolate by running valgrind on a test for PSFEx.

      ==23324== Invalid read of size 8
      ==23324==    at 0x1B09ACE4: lsst::afw::math::makeInterpolate(std::vector<double, std::allocator<double> > const&, std::vector<double, std::allocator<double> > const&, lsst::afw::math::Interpolate::Style) (Interpolate.cc:74)
      ==23324==    by 0x1B0A9B16: lsst::afw::math::BackgroundMI::_setGridColumns(lsst::afw::math::Interpolate::Style, lsst::afw::math::UndersampleStyle, int, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int> > const&) const (BackgroundMI.cc:168)
      ==23324==    by 0x1B0AC7A9: boost::shared_ptr<lsst::afw::image::Image<float> > lsst::afw::math::BackgroundMI::doGetImage<float>(lsst::afw::geom::Box2I const&, lsst::afw::math::Interpolate::Style, lsst::afw::math::UndersampleStyle) const (BackgroundMI.cc:339)

      On inspection, the loop is running off the end of the array: when i = x.size() - 1 (i.e., the last element), then it's trying to access x[i+1], which is off the end.

                interpolate: fix off-by-one bug in InterpolateConstant
                
                Nate Lust found an "invalid read" in the "recenter" function
                when running Valgrind on a test of PSFEx.  Inspection of the
                code found that we were running off the end of the array.
                This error is not (in general) reproduced by running valgrind
                on afw's interpolate.py test, probably because we're getting
                more space back from the standard library than we ask for.
                Changing the test to use 8 or 16 values allows valgrind to
                see the error, which goes away with this fix, but I've not
                modified the test.

            you may have already merged this, but I got it built. The changes look good and I can verify the tests run.
