Would a userspace client ever want to use both CTM and 3D LUT?

We could add a mode property to CTM to allow for a CTM or 3D LUT or
we could add new properties for 3D LUT support.

3D LUT might come with shaper 1D LUTs that can be programmed in
conjunction with the 3D LUT. 3D LUTs operating in non-linear
space require less precision than 3D LUTs operating in linear
space, hence the 1D LUT can be used to non-linearize the
pixel data for 3D LUT operation.

FWIW, AMD HW (depending on generation) can do these operations
(in this order):

1) 1D LUT (fixed or PWL programmable)
2) simple multiplier (for scaling SDR content to HDR output)
3) CTM matrix
4) 1D LUT (shaper LUT to non-linearize for more effective 3D LUT transform)
5) 3D LUT
6) 1D LUT (for non-linear blending, or to linearize after 3D LUT)
7) blending
8) CTM matrix
9) 1D LUT (shaper LUT like above)
10) 3D LUT
11) 1D LUT (generally for EOTF^-1 for display EOTF)

Not all blocks are available on all (current and future) HW.

I sketched a few diagrams that show how these might be used by
a compositor if we exposed all of these blocks and should
really try to add some of them to the color-and-hdr docs
repo.

I think the color pipeline should be modeled in a way that makes
sense from a color science standpoint and in a way that makes sense
for compositor implementations. Fortunately HW design generally
aligns with these intentions but we should be careful to not
let HW design dictate KMS interfaces.
