// Return the character normalization feature for a blob.
//
// The features returned are in a scale where the x-height has been
// normalized to live in the region y = [-0.25 .. 0.25].  Example ranges
// for English below are based on the Linux font collection on 2009-12-04:
//
//   Params[CharNormY]
//     The y coordinate of the grapheme's centroid.
//     English: [-0.27, 0.71]
//
//   Params[CharNormLength]
//     The length of the grapheme's outline (tiny segments discarded),
//     divided by 10.0=LENGTH_COMPRESSION.
//     English: [0.16, 0.85]
//
//   Params[CharNormRx]
//     The radius of gyration about the x axis, as measured from CharNormY.
//     English: [0.011, 0.34]
//
//   Params[CharNormRy]
//     The radius of gyration about the y axis, as measured from
//     the x center of the grapheme's bounding box.
//     English: [0.011, 0.31]
