The black level determination, already present as a separate class, can
be moved to the prepared Algorithm processing structure.  It is the
first of the current software ISP algorithms that is called in the stats
processing sequence, which means it is also the first one that should be
moved to the new structure.  Stats processing starts with calling
Algorithm-based processing so the call order of the algorithms is
retained.

Movement of this algorithm is relatively straightforward because all it
does is processing stats.

Black level is now recomputed on each stats processing.  In a future
patch, after DelayedControls are used, this will be changed to recompute
the black level only after exposure/gain changes.

Shouldn't this go under IPAActiveState instead ?

Already needs to be documented as done in other IPAs.

It should.  I thought too much forward about the black level as a
predefined value but it changes in the current implementation.  There
are other problems with this patch, I'll rework it a bit.

> Already needs to be documented as done in other IPAs.

Oh yes, will do.

Thank you for your reviews, what I haven't responded to is clear and
I'll address it in v2.
