Please add support for the colorProfile query parameter.

Per Matt Vonk at Pivot Interactives

Hey all, I hope you're doing well. I'm working on an activity based on the Charges and Fields sim and I'm wondering if there's a way to make the "Projector Mode" the default. Thanks, Matt

Ie. Looking for this URL to work https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/charges-and-fields/latest/charges-and-fields_all.html?colorProfile=projector

P.S. - We gave him a link to the old implementation, but this simulation should support the current method.

Charges and Fields was converted from the deprecated projector to colorProfile in https://github.com/phetsims/joist/issues/371 and is behaving correctly on main: https://bayes.colorado.edu/dev/phettest/charges-and-fields/charges-and-fields_en.html?ea&brand=phet&colorProfile=projector

The current production branch is 1.0 which was originally deployed in September 2016. This sim didn't have a standardized "color profile" until #112 in November 2016. I doubt it would be feasible to track down and cherry-pick the necessary commits to get colorProfile=projector into production.

Since the feature is already supported on main, I suggest we close this issue @brent-phet.
