Change the gstfaceblur.c file to cpp and add it into Makefile.
It is necessary to migrate the faceblur plugin to C++,
in order to load new and old classifiers, to make faceblur work
with newer versions of Opencv.

The cascade classifier changes its structure on new version of OpenCV.
The need to migrate to C++ to utilize the new load method of OpenCV which
allows to load the new classifiers.

Add colour image enhancement element based on Retinex algorithm. Two types
exist, namely basic and multiscale; both are described in this article:
Rahman, Zia-ur, Daniel J. Jobson, and Glenn A. Woodell. "Multi-scale retinex
for color image enhancement." Image Processing, 1996. Proceedings.,
International Conference on. Vol. 3. IEEE, 1996
Visually speaking the result looks a bit funny, but is pretty invariable to
lightning changes, which is good for some applications, like image
segmentation.

Compile with -DCV_NO_BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY for now, so that the compat header
doesn't get included, which causes compiler warnings that (it seems) can't be
switched off easily. As a result, we also specify a max. version in configure,
so the build doesn't break if our code doesn't compile against newer opencv
versions any more with that flag.
Override CV_INLINE to avoid 'unused' gcc warnings. GLib will take care of defining
'inline' sufficiently and OpenCV's define isn't good enough to avoid 'unused'
compiler warnings (at least in version 2.1.0).
* Implement pyramid segmentation element
* Make masking optional on edgedetect
* Clean up edgedetect, add element details
* Implemented edge detect element
