vo_opengl: add --tone-mapping-desaturate
This helps prevent unnaturally, weirdly colorized blown out highlights for direct images of the sunlit sky and other way-too-bright HDR content. I was debating whether to set the default at 1.0 or 2.0, but went with the more conservative option that preserves more detail/color.
