vo_opengl: Add :icc-approx-gamma suboption to approximate BT.709 gamma
This uses the value of 1.95 as an approximation for the exact gamma curve, which replicates the behavior of popular video software including anything in the Apple ecosystem, as per issue #534.

+ Approximate the actual BT.709 gamma function as a pure power curve of
+ 1.95. This is not quite correct, but it was historically used as a
+ faster version of the actual function, and seems to still be used by
+ many video editing programs and perhaps even studios. If you find your
