    Relative redundant calibration of visibilities

    Takes a given HERA visibility dataset in uvh5 file format and performs
    relative redundant calibration (up to the overall amplitude, overall
    phase, and phase gradient degenerate parameters) for each frequency channel
    and each time integration in the dataset.

    Returns a pickled pandas dataframe of the Scipy optimization results for
    the relative redundant calibration for each set of frequency channel and
    time integration.
