Hotfix for legacy metric error comparison

[oelbert]

Description
The comparison in LegacyMetric if np.isnan(metric_err) or (metric_err > worst_metric_err): can fail if all metric errors are negative real numbers, leading to no "worst index" being assigned and causing a memory error. It also means large negative errors won't be considered as bad as small positive ones, which is undersirable. This PR fixes that by comparing the absolute value of the errors to find the worst.

Fixes #72
