/*
=========================================================================
RGBE representation of binned contributions consisting of:
- three 5-bit mantissas for each RGB colour channel
- a common 5-bit exponent
- and a 12-bit bin number for the contribution
= 32 bits.
The floating point RGB contributions are assumed to be SIGNED and lie in
the range [-1, 1], with values in the interval [-RGBE_CONTRIB_MIN,
RGBE_CONTRIB_MIN] clamped to 0, since these cannot be resolved. The
encoded values should therefore be normalised (e.g. divided by their
absolute maximum) in order to maximise the useful range.
