CoverageProcessingNode (Geotools modules 18-SNAPSHOT API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseCoverageProcessingNode, RasterSymbolizerHelper, StyleVisitorCoverageProcessingNodeAdapter, SubchainStyleVisitorCoverageProcessingAdapter
```
public interface CoverageProcessingNode
```
Basic interface for Coverage Processing as used by SLD 1.0. The immediate goal here is to implement RasterSymbolizer support for SLD 1.0 but in future it could be extended/used for an elaborate coverage processing framework.
This interface can be used to chain together CoverageProcessingNodes in order to create graphs of operations. A single node can have multiple sources but only one output in this design.
