  VideoColourSpace: Add Colour Primaries conversion support

- the existing colourspace support converts YCbCr data to RGB using a
conversion matrix calculated for the colourspace standard in use.
- this works well most of the time for 'old school' colour standards
which have very similar primaries and gamma and are generally displayed
on a Rec BT 709 display - again with similar primaries and gamma.
- it starts to break down with newer BT2020/HDR material where the
primaries start to diverge and the gamma is different - or if the user
has a modern display that is not Rec BT 709 (untested though!)
- to account for the different primaries, we convert to linear values
with the source gamma, convert that to XYZ, XYZ to the new (display)
colourspace and then back to non-linear values with the inverse display
gamma...

- this is a potentially expensive operation that will hurt older GPUs
- the default or auto behaviour is to only convert colourpspaces when
the gamma is different - which currently implies BT2020 to a BT709
display. most people will not be able to notice the difference for other
conversions.
- there is currently no setting to change this behaviour - but it will
be added to the video display profile in due course(auto, off, on)

- there is also placeholder code to use a custom set of display
primaries and gamma - with the immediate intention that these will be
fetched from the EDID - and hence we can match the output to the exact
tv/monitor settings.
