Legendre and cosine detrending are implemented almost identically, although with several minor variations. Here I separate regressor creation from detrending to unify the implementations.

This now uses np.linalg.pinv(X) to estimate the betas in both cases, rather than using np.linalg.lstsq in the cosine filter. lstsq uses SVD and can thus fail to converge in rare cases. Under no circumstances should (X.T @ X) be singular, so the pseudoinverse is unique and precisely what we want.

@jhlegarreta I wonder if I could bug you for a review. I suspect this would be a quick one for you, but let me know if it's not.

For Legendre regressors, the ith column is the ith-order polynomial, so
the constant column is 0. For the cosine regressors, a constant column
was appended to the end, in contradiction of the docstring. This brings
both into alignment so columns are sorted from lowest to highest
frequency and aligns the DCT behavior with its docstring.

Take my review with some care: I am not familiar with fMRI data processing.

Changes look sensible; the methods being changed are not tested, though 😬. Documenting the methods would help 📖.

Thanks for addressing the reported issue so fast.
