swscale: add ICC intent enum and option

This setting can be used to infuence the type of tone and gamut mapping used
internally when color space conversions are required. As discussed at VDD'24,
the default was set to relative colorimetric clipping, which is approximately
associative, surjective and idempotent. As such, it roundtrips well, although
it is strictly speaking not associative on out-of-gamut colors.

+@item intent
+Set the ICC rendering intent to use when transforming between different color
+spaces. It accepts the following values:
 
+@table @samp
+@item perceptual
+Use a perceptually guided tone and gamut mapping curve. The exact details of
+the mapping used may change at any time and should not be relied on as stable.
+This intent is recommended for final viewing of image/video content in typical
+viewing settings.
+
+@item relative_colorimetric
+Statically clip out-of-gamut colors using a colorimetric clipping curve which
+attempts to find the colorimetrically least dissimilar in-gamut color. This
+intent performs white point adaptation and black point adaptation. This is
+the default. This intent is recommended wherever faithful color reproduction
+is of the utmost importance, even at the cost of clipping.
+
+@item absolute_colorimetric
+Hard clip out-of-gamut colors with no attempt at white or black point
+reproduction. This intent will reproduce in-gamut colors 1:1 on the output
+display as they would appear on the reference display, assuming the output
+display is appropriately calibrated.
+
+@item saturation
+Performs saturation mapping - that is, stretches the input color volume
+directly onto the output color volume, in non-linear fashion that preserves the
+original signal appearance as much as possible. This intent is recommended for
+signal content evaluation, as it will not lead to any clipping. It is roughly
+analogous to not performing any color mapping, although it still takes into
+account the mastering display primaries and any differences in encoding TRC.
