Rectify the ColorSpace::Srgb to denote that it does not use
any Y'Cbcr encoding and uses full range.

The kernel on the other hand, recommends to use Rec601 as the encoding
for V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB. It is not very explicit but it can be
inferred that the kernel assumes V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB is a YUV-encoded
one. However, when the data is in RGB, no encoding is required (and
this is denoted by YcbcrEncoding::None in libcamera).

Hence, to be clear on the libcamera colorspace API, rectify the
ColorSpace::Srgb preset to use YcbcrEncoding::None.

Hi Umang,

Thank you for the patch.

 * and definitions in libcamera and V4L2. Two notable differences are
 *
 * - The sRGB libcamera color space is defined for RGB formats only with no
 *   Y'CbCr encoding and a full quantization range, while the V4L2 SRGB color
 *   space has a Y'CbCr encoding and a limited quantization range.
 * - The sYCC libcamera color space is called JPEG in V4L2 due to historical
 *   reasons.
