Creates a shadow band, with output 1 where pixels are illumunated and 0 where they are shadowed. Takes as input an elevation band, azimuth and zenith of the light source in degrees, a neighborhood size, and whether or not to apply hysteresis when a shadow appears. Currently, this algorithm only works for Mercator projections, in which light rays are parallel.
