Create shaded-relief cube from topographic cube

This program will create a shaded-relief cube from a topographic cube. It uses the sun angle (azimuth) as well as the solar elevation (zenith) to compute the correct shading on the output cube.

Tracie Sucharski2003-01-09 Original version
Tracie Sucharski2003-01-28 Changed category from filter to photometry.
Tracie Sucharski2003-02-07 Changed user parameter names and now read pixel resolution from labels.
Kim Sides2003-05-13 Added application test
Stuart Sides2003-05-16 Modified schema location from astogeology... to isis.astrogeology..."
Stuart Sides2003-07-29 Modified filename parameters to be cube parameters where necessary
Brian Peck2006-12-25 Algorithm change and input parameter change.
Mackenzie Boyd2010-01-06 Reversed slopes to be correct. Changed azimuth to be 0 degrees is 12 o'clock rotating clockwise. Updated documentation to match.
Steven Lambright2012-11-19 Abstracted out the hillshade algorithm (the algorithm that computes the resulting values from this program) into it's own class. This program's code has changed to utilize the new class, but the functionality should be unchanged. References #1232.
