[Findit] Flake Analyzer - Dives may introduce false positives for culprits

Project Member Reported by lijeffrey@chromium.org, Apr 18 2017

Issue description

https://findit-for-me.appspot.com/waterfall/flake?key=ag9zfmZpbmRpdC1mb3ItbWVy9AELEhdNYXN0ZXJGbGFrZUFuYWx5c2lzUm9vdCK9AWNocm9taXVtLndpbi9XaW4xMCBUZXN0cyB4NjQvMTAxMzkvYnJvd3Nlcl9zaWRlX25hdmlnYXRpb25fY29udGVudF91bml0dGVzdHMgb24gV2luZG93cy0xMC0xMDU4Ni9VbVZ1WkdWeVpYSkJkV1JwYjA5MWRIQjFkRk4wY21WaGJVWmhZM1J2Y25sSmJuUmxaM0poZEdsdmJsUmxjM1F1VTNSeVpXRnRTVzUwWldkeVlYUnBiMjVVWlhOMAwLEhNNYXN0ZXJGbGFrZUFuYWx5c2lzGAEM

In this case, the test seems as though it was always flaky. However since a dive occurred a suspected build was identified with high confidence, leading to try jobs. However the lower bound build point's pass rate is only 91%, meaning the test was already flaky to begin with, leading try jobs to identify a false positive as the culprit.

Possible solutions:
1. In addition to running try jobs only with high confidence, ensure the lower-bound of the regression range is within the stable threshold (0.02 or 0.98), bailing out otherwise
2. Disable dive analysis, since the test was already flaky to begin with it's unlikely the exact culprit is within the dive region

The new analysis pipelines and lookback algorithm no longer consider dives as potential suspects (and no longer support dive checking due to false positives).
