We are seeing several instances where the RPe, which can be altered by
pcode dynamically, is causing subtests to fail randomly. Instead of relying
on it, we can use a mid frequency value for these subtests and avoid these
failures.

v2: Fix bug in the tolerance function. Remove rpe usage from freq_range*
as well (Badal). Fix test documentation to reflect change (Riana).

Seeing the first issue after this change. Do we need a delay?

Hmm, rpmid here would have been 650. SLPC ended up setting min to RPe, 
which is probably 700 here. Will change this conditional check.
