r_forceBlendRegime to load legacy lightmaps in linear space or vice versa
Allow loading maps with sRGB lightmaps with naive blending, or maps with non-sRGB lightmaps with linear blending. Use r_forceBlendRegime 1 for naive blending or r_forceBlendRegime 2 for linear blending.
TODO: models and vertex lighting. Out of precomputed lighting, just lightmaps work so far.
From some examples you can see that non-blended surfaces look similar between blend modes. Use of multi-texturing features like normal and specular increases the difference. But even non-blended, non-lit surfaces like the skybox can still have visible differences because texture filtering produces different results when the image is flagged as sRGB.
