fix(jumpavg): penalize stdev also for size=2
This fix is mainly needed for bisection using PDR values. The impact on trending is smaller but still beneficial, as this fix should reduce the amount of false anomalies for two-band and other unstable tests. + Update metadata for 0.4.1 release into PyPI.
