This adds shader support for using a three-channel one-dimensional
look-up table for de/encoding input colors. This operation will be useful
for applying EOTF or its inverse, in other words, gamma curves. It will
also be useful in optimizing a following 3D LUT tap distribution once
support for 3D LUT is added.
Even though called three-channel and one-dimensional, it is actually
implemented as a one-channel two-dimensional texture with four rows.
Each row corresponds to a source color channel except the fourth one is
unused. The reason for having the fourth row is to get texture
coordinates in 1/8 steps instead of 1/6 steps. 1/6 may would not be
exact in floating- or fixed-point arithmetic and might perhaps risk
unintended results from bilinear texture filtering when we want linear
filtering only in x but not in y texture coordinates. I may be paranoid.
The LUT is applied on source colors after they have been converted to
straight RGB. It cannot be applied with pre-multiplied alpha. A LUT can
be used for both applying EOTF to go from source color space to blending
color space, and EOTF^-1 to go from blending space to output
(electrical) space. However, this type of LUT cannot do color space
conversions.
For now, this feature is hardcoded to off everywhere, to be enabled in
following patches.
