FEAT/PERF: ScaleContinuous accepts palette capability may_return_na

We can extend palettes with attributes to improve the mapping efficiency.

With this commit a palette may define an attribute `may_return_na` to `FALSE`.
If it does, `ScaleContinuous` will assume the palette may not return missing
values, and it will skip checking for those and replacing them.
