Yes, it's as ludicrous as it sounds, but it's still true. Bizarrely,
the previous commit makes CLAHE run about 10% slower on Android, even
though it doesn't even touch any CLAHE code. Splitting it off fixes that,
although the reason it does is a mystery for the ages.
It's cleaner when it's in its own file, anyway. ;=]
Old implementation did
lut[i] = 255 * (count(Y <= i)) / (width * height)
which actually shifts uniform histograms.
From now histogram is equalized as
C = count(Y == min(Y))
lut[i] = 255 * (count(Y <= i) - C) / (width * height - C)
