This PR makes a small adjustment to #552. Normally, the PSFs in the gridded PSF libraries are normalized such that the total signal of the PSF divided by the square of the oversampling factor is just under 1.0. But in the case of NIRISS NRM exposures, the throughput factor of 0.15 associated with the NRM mask is included in the webbpsf PSFs. Therefore the normalization is lower by a factor of 0.15. Similarly, for NIRISS imaging observations that use the CLEARP filter, the throughput factor of 0.84 is included in the webbpsf outputs.

So here, we adjust the normalization check to lower the expected value by factors of 0.15 and 0.84 for these two cases.
