  Description     : libultrahdr HDR gain map library

libultrahdr is an image compression library that uses gain map technology
to store and distribute HDR images.

This package would be needed to process or display photos from most 
modern phones in the last years without losing significant luminosity 
data. Recent desktop environments support displaying HDR content, but
applications are somewhat lacking in supporting other than videos.

I am using this for test purposes on my own computer to display personal 
photos from the last 3-4 years.

As an example Google enabled Ultra HDR by default on all Pixel phones, 
Pixel 5 and newer, to record gain map data in late 2023, so all photos taken
after that rollout should include the data, unless modified with software 
that drops the data. Samsung devices call it Super HDR, Apple calls it 
Adaptive HDR, and there is ISO 21496-1 standardizing it.

I'll be uploading it on my own, but all my packages are LowNMU and it can 
be freely moved to be part of some team.
