The Color Matching Descriptor has been present in USB cameras since
the original version of UVC, but it has never been fully used
in Linux.

This change informs V4L2 of all of the critical colorspace parameters:
colorspace (called "color primaries" in UVC), transfer function
(called "transfer characteristics" in UVC), ycbcr encoding (called
"matrix coefficients" in UVC), and quantization, which is always
LIMITED for UVC, see section 2.26 in USB_Video_FAQ_1.5.pdf.

The quantization is the most important improvement for this patch,
because V4L2 will otherwise interpret MJPEG as FULL range. Web browsers
such as Chrome and Firefox already ignore V4L2's quantization for USB
devices and use the correct LIMITED value, but other programs such
as qv4l2 will incorrectly interpret the output of MJPEG from USB
cameras without this change.

I spoke too soon! I did some additional tests and found that I am
getting full-range JPEG out of the Logitech C922 camera. (I think the
camera was accidentally in uncompressed mode for one test.) Thank you
so much for keeping me honest here, and sorry for confusion.

My methodology is this:

1. Use qv4l2 and make sure the camera is in MJPEG mode. Make sure
OpenGL decoding is turned on, otherwise the MJPEG image is always
full-range on the screen in qv4l2.
2. Cover the camera with my finger.
3. Use a screen capture device (gpick is ok) to measure the black values.
4. Flip between override of full range and limited range.

The RGB values should be between 1-15 (not 0) for black when the range
is correct.

You can switch to the uncompressed format to verify that the black
values are in the same range. Uncompressed YUV should be decoded as
limited range to get the same black value as full-range decoded MJPEG.

If you have a light to shine into the camera, you can do the same for
the white value. Again, the RGB values should be >235 but not 255.

I've also used v4l2-ctl to capture a direct JPEG frame (useful for
reading JPEG headers):

v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=file.jpg

I think that the ATEM Mini is one of the first high-quality devices to
use MJPEG, so even though it is outputting the same full-range image
as other devices, people are noticing it for the first time.

I guess even though the UVC spec seems to say otherwise, MJPEG UVC is
(at least for some devices) full range. I will at least try to fix
Chrome. Zoom also is decoding this wrong. I haven't looked at the
behavior on Windows yet, just webbrowsers on Mac and Linux (and Zoom
on Linux).

Probably we'll find some MJPEG devices that are limited range, in
which case, we are stuck in the same mess as now.

Thanks again for working through this with me. I will revise the patch
to remove the quantization change. I think the color space information
is still useful to expose (though maybe not, given how confused things
are).
