Implement Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) for spectral images

[EBRogers]

SSIM is useful for quantifying the structural difference between two images. Most implementations in R are tailored to geospatial applications; most do not allow irregularly shaped images. Could SSIM be implemented in matter - say to compute across two features/mz values? This may be better suited to Cardinal.

SSIM is not mass spectrometry specific, so this is the correct place for it.
