[Feature Request] HLG support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some TV series use the HLG format, which is sort-of HDR but sort-of it's own thing. I'm definitely not an expert on this..

Describe the solution you'd like But! It would be nice with: 1) A separate badge for it (not sure about this, as pretty much every device just registers it as HDR) 2) An option for the probing to recognize HLG and either tag it as HLG or HDR in the rpdb.json (again, not sure about what's best.. HLG would probably be most accurate)

Additional context A few logs from a few episodes with the HLG:

As far as I understand it, HLG is a standard, HDR is also a standard. But HLG is a subset of HDR, comparing it to DoVi which is a standard as well, but not a subset of HDR.

So a video can be considered to be both HLG and HDR, while a video cannot be considered both DoVi and HDR.

HLG is a standard that makes videos backwards compatible to HDR, so HLG is not a color range standard at all (like HDR and DoVi are), it's a compatibility layer.

In that sense I feel like an HLG badge makes less sense than using the HDR badge for such videos too..

Yeah HDR badge woud suffice IMO too
