Earth mover's distance between two mass images by the slime mould's tube dynamics.

Every pixel is a node; neighbouring pixels (`connectivity` 4 or 8) are joined by a tube of

length 1 (`sqrt(2)` on diagonals), so the ground metric is the grid path length (Manhattan

for 4, octile for 8). Mass `a enters and mass b leaves: the supply is a - b` after

both are scaled to unit mass (`normalize=True; with False` they must already carry the

same mass). Dynamics, convergence and the two-sided bound as in

:func:graph_physarum_transport; larger images run on the sparse Laplacian with conjugate

gradients.

Returns `cost` (the 1-Wasserstein distance estimate in pixel units, an upper bound),

`dual_bound (Kantorovich–Rubinstein lower bound), gap, conductance` (an image: each

pixel's thickest incident tube), `flow_field ((H, W, 2)`: the mean of the flow vectors

of the tubes at each pixel, in `(row, col)` units of mass per unit length, for drawing

arrows), `potential ((H, W) pressures), iters, converged, gap_converged`,

`history, cost_history, dual_history, and with snapshots = m > 0 also snapshots (m`

conductance images at evenly spaced iterations, the last one final), `snapshot_iters` and

`snapshot_cost (sum_e L_e |Q_e|` at those iterations) for watching the tubes form.

Raises `ValueError`: images not 2-D, finite, non-negative, of the same shape with at

least 2 rows and columns, or without mass; unequal masses when `normalize=False`;

`connectivity not 4 or 8; snapshots < 0; and as :func:graph_physarum_transport`.
