Laser power guardian threshold changed

The laser power guardian checks that the laser power is within 15% of the requested power, and doesn't return true unless it is.  The rotation stage isn't always this accurate (right now the requested angle matches the measured angle, but the requested power is 12W instead of 10W).  Now that we are powering up in multiple steps, this means that the guardian gets stuck with a warning to adjust the rotation stage by hand or search for home.  

We edited the threshold that is used to check the power, so now it will return true if we are within 25% of the requested power.
