in #717 I added the option to read parts of plates
for the cytation this was constrained to rectangles since that's all the firmware supports
in this pr we update that to allow any subset of wells
we will find the largest rectangles in the specified wells and read those. this is faster because the cytation can scan column by column or row by row
note: gen5.exe will only read a rectangle when the entire subset is a rectangle. when the shape is anything just a little more complex than a full rectangle, it will read every well one by one. so PLR is much faster. see "infographic" below:
