video: Include better heuristics for guessing primaries
These consult the vertical resolution, matching against 576 for PAL and 480/486 for NTSC. The documentation has also been updated. Signed-off-by: wm4 <wm4@nowhere>

management, for example ``opengl`` with the ``srgb`` or ``icc-profile``

+ If this option is set to ``auto`` (which is the default), the video's
+ primaries flag will be used. If that flag is unset, the color space will
+ be selected automatically, using the following heuristics: If the
+ ``--colormatrix`` is set or determined as BT.2020 or BT.709, the
+ corresponding primaries are used. Otherwise, if the video height is
+ exactly 576 (PAL), BT.601-625 is used. If it's exactly 480 or 486 (NTSC),
+ BT.601-525 is used. If the video resolution is anything else, BT.709 is
+ used.
