Add a save method to detectors and predictors

Also, removed the saving of the upsample which I missed from
before (since I'm not using the struct now). I understand why
the upsample was being saved, but I don't necessarily agree it
is particularly useful as you should really be upsampling on
a case by case basis at test time.
