/**
 * Given three sequential points, p0, p1 and p2, find the left and right
 * control points for p1.
 *
 * The three points are expected to have x and y properties.
 *
 * The alpha parameter controls the amount of smoothing.
 * If α=0, then both control points will be the same as p1 (i.e. no smoothing).
 *
 * Returns [l1x, l1y, r1x, r1y]
 *
 * It's guaranteed that the line from (l1x, l1y)-(r1x, r1y) passes through p1.
 * Unless allowFalseExtrema is set, then it's also guaranteed that:
 *   l1y ∈ [p0.y, p1.y]
 *   r1y ∈ [p1.y, p2.y]
 *
 * The basic algorithm is:
 * 1. Put the control points l1 and r1 α of the way down (p0, p1) and (p1, p2).
 * 2. Shift l1 and r2 so that the line l1–r1 passes through p1
 * 3. Adjust to prevent false extrema while keeping p1 on the l1–r1 line.
 *
 * This is loosely based on the HighCharts algorithm.
