#' Function to return the DL5 hydrologic indicator statistic for a given data frame
#'
#' This function accepts a data frame that contains a column named "discharge" and calculates
#' DL5; Annual minimum of 90-day moving average flow. Compute the minimum of a 90-day moving average flow
#' for each year. DL5 is the mean (or median-Use Preference option) of these values (cubic feet per second-temporal).
#'
#' @param qfiletempf data frame containing a "discharge" column containing daily flow values
#' @param pref string containing a "mean" or "median" preference
#' @return dl5 numeric containing DL5 for the given data frame
