Description
Add a Raster section that provides brief how-tos for each of these topics:
- Terminology including CellType/CellSize/NoData, Tile, Raster definitions in GT context
- Rendering: ColorMap, ColorRamp, Color Correction
- Histograms
- Polygonal Summary
These topics are currently addressed in https://github.com/geotrellis/geotrellis-workshop/blob/master/docs/rendering-images.md, https://github.com/geotrellis/geotrellis-workshop/blob/master/docs/histograms.md.
Also, ensure we instruct users to either run the the raster tests via SBT once or unzip the raster tests package if we end up using any of the test rasters in our examples ( see #3178 )

Research direction
Start with the existing GeoTrellis Workshop sources in docs/rendering-images.md and docs/histograms.md, then review the requested terminology, rendering, histogram, and polygonal summary topics. Add the corresponding Raster section to the new mdocs and document whether users should run the raster tests through SBT or unzip the raster tests package when examples use test rasters, as noted in #3178.
