Some DirectShow devices (Logitech C920 webcam) expose each DirectShow format they support twice, once without and once with extended color information. During format selection, both match, this patch ensures that the format with extended color information is selected if it is available, else it falls back to a matching format without such information. This also necessitated a new code path taken for default formats of a device (when user didn't request any specific video size, etc), because the default format may be one without extended color information when a twin with extended color information is also available. Getting the extended color information when available is important as it allows setting the color space, range, primaries, transfer characteristics and chroma location of the stream provided by dshow, enabling users to get more correct color automatically out of their device.
