Switch to the upstream color-management-v1 protocol

Description

Maybe it's time to switch to the staging color-management-v1 protocol for HDR and color management as mpv,sdl and mesa are adopting that protocol.

doesnt hyprland use its own protocols

actually i think its a mix of the 2

I think it's KDE's protocol modified to fit Hyprland
And KDE's was just the upstream protocol but in early stage without some bits which made KDE to switch to upstream a breeze!

But I may be wrong as I am not a contributor.
It's just a wild guess!

I am on it but it won't be useful without #9064
The proto itself doesn't mean much. All CM features are optional and a compositor without any CM can claim proto support.
Current implementation only works with a limited subset of features for fullscreen apps. There is no way to reveal those feature for fullscreen apps and if a windowed one tries to use them than it'll end up with wrong colors. It's not an issue with xx-cm and frog-cm since they are experimental and have limited client support which is usually locked behind some flag. Upstream CM will have more issues with the current approach.

makes sense
