grade: simple colour grading via lift gamma gain (ACES CDL)

this implements the popular and simple lift gamma gain scheme to colour grade images.

note that it works in rgb and may result in out of gamut/spectral locus colours.

this is in fact using the ACES colour decision list (CDL) formula for slope/offset/power but i didn't rename the parameters because it's so similar. also this does not work in log space nor in ACEScc colour space, so in a way it's different anyways.
