DOCS: deprecate --gamma-factor and --gamma-auto
Removed the outdated information about environmental brightness with respect to --gamma-factor, and mention that the option is deprecated and subject to future removal. Also deprecated the --gamma-auto option as it relies on the same outdated way of doing things.

- Recommended values based on the environmental brightness:
-
- 1.0
- Pitch black or dimly lit room (default)
- 1.1
- Moderately lit room, home
- 1.2
- Brightly illuminated room, office

- NOTE: This is based around the assumptions of typical movie content, which
- contains an implicit end-to-end of about 0.8 from scene to display. For
- bright environments it can be useful to cancel that out.
+ This option is deprecated and may be removed in the future.
``--gamma-auto``
Automatically corrects the gamma value depending on ambient lighting
conditions (adding a gamma boost for bright rooms).
- With ambient illuminance of 16 lux, mpv will pick the 1.0 gamma value (no
- boost), and slightly increase the boost up until 1.2 for 256 lux.
+ This option is deprecated and may be removed in the future.
NOTE: Only implemented on macOS.
