The SLD standard does not provide this kind of "auto-resizing" colormap,
neither does GeoServer with its extensions.

For small data sets it might make sense to introduce it, I guess expressing
the colormap in terms of percentages, but with some extras to avoid
catching null values (like a list of nodata or something like that).
And then we'd need layer level statistics computed on the whole layer
and cached (otherwise the color map would rescale itself to the area being
painted).

It is feasible, but not a small amount of work, would require changes in
both GeoServer and GeoTools
