 * Normalize RGB video (aka histogram stretching, contrast stretching).
 * See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(image_processing)
 *
 * For each channel of each frame, the filter computes the input range and maps
 * it linearly to the user-specified output range. The output range defaults
 * to the full dynamic range from pure black to pure white.
 *
 * Naively maximising the dynamic range of each frame of video in isolation
 * may cause flickering (rapid changes in brightness of static objects in the
 * scene) when small dark or bright objects enter or leave the scene. This
 * filter can apply temporal smoothing to the input range to reduce flickering.
 * Temporal smoothing is similar to the auto-exposure (automatic gain control)
 * on a video camera, which performs the same function; and, like a video
 * camera, it may cause a period of over- or under-exposure of the video.
 *
 * The filter can normalize the R,G,B channels independently, which may cause
 * color shifting, or link them together as a single channel, which prevents
 * color shifting. More precisely, linked normalization preserves hue (as it's
 * defined in HSV/HSL color spaces) while independent normalization does not.
 * Independent normalization can be used to remove color casts, such as the
 * blue cast from underwater video, restoring more natural colors. The filter
 * can also combine independent and linked normalization in any ratio.
 *
 * Finally the overall strength of the filter can be adjusted, from no effect
 * to full normalization.
 *
 * The 5 AVOptions are:
 *   blackpt,   Colors which define the output range. The minimum input value
 *   whitept    is mapped to the blackpt. The maximum input value is mapped to
 *              the whitept. The defaults are black and white respectively.
 *              Specifying white for blackpt and black for whitept will give
 *              color-inverted, normalized video. Shades of grey can be used
 *              to reduce the dynamic range (contrast). Specifying saturated
 *              colors here can create some interesting effects.
 *
 *   smoothing  The amount of temporal smoothing, expressed in frames (>=0).
 *              the minimum and maximum input values of each channel are
 *              smoothed using a rolling average over the current frame and
 *              that many previous frames of video.  Defaults to 0 (no temporal
 *              smoothing).
 *
 *   independence
 *              Controls the ratio of independent (color shifting) channel
 *              normalization to linked (color preserving) normalization. 0.0
 *              is fully linked, 1.0 is fully independent. Defaults to fully
 *              independent.
 *
 *   strength   Overall strength of the filter. 1.0 is full strength. 0.0 is
 *              a rather expensive no-op. Values in between can give a gentle
 *              boost to low-contrast video without creating an artificial
 *              over-processed look. The default is full strength.
