Title: Add string inputs for range parameters of `rescale_intensity`

This was part of the original concept for `rescale_intensity`, but never made it in. This adds support for the default numpy image dtypes, plus 'uint10', 'uint12', and 'uint14' data ranges since these are common camera-image formats. (These aren't actually data types, but ... whatever).
