Convert from sRGB to linear in color picker

[sgmq0]

This addresses issue #1209

Let me know if I'm missing anything, I'm not very sure about the naming conventions.

This looks like a great start, thanks @sgmq0!

Here are two initial thoughts and recommendations for next steps:

• We should probably add the reverse transform from linear shader colors to the sRGB-encoded space of the color picker, so that the colors that artists see displayed in the viewer interface are in their correct space.
• It's fine to start with just the MaterialX Viewer for this initial pull request, though ultimately we want to extend this change to the MaterialX Graph Editor as well!

Checking with nanogui (Viewer) and imgui (Editor) both appear to assume sRGB for display colors so looks like the reverse transform is required.

I wanted to follow up on this proposal, @sgmq0, to see if you might have the bandwidth to address the requests above. Let us know either way!

School got busy and I ended up not having the bandwidth to finish in a timely manner, but thank you for the reminder! I can try to address both requests within a week or so.

Hi @jstone-lucasfilm !
Just to clarify, is the goal to transform the color picker to sRGB to match the color space of the viewer?

[jstone-lucasfilm]

That's exactly right, @sgmq0, and you should be able to use the built-in linearToSrgb function to implement this transform.

This should effectively transform colors from the linear space of the renderer (lin_rec709) to the srgb-encoded space of the color picker (srgb_texture).
