Fix related to #30152, rainbow colours produced when loading hdr image to 3D viewport/ the Nyan cat bug.

Issue is caused by scaling for power of 2 dimensions and mipmapping that happens through GLU. It looks like the library cannot handle float colour values above 1.0 correctly. Since we are close to release I will just clamp the srgb result for now even though it will result in a small performance loss for 16 bit textures only.

I tried a few things before that, glGenerateMipmaps + no scaling (supported for 2.0 GL hardware and up), or using our own scaling instead of glu among them which worked very nicely and gave a speedup too. However, since we are close to release and there may be issues with GPU mipmap generation, see:

(old discussion but better be sure than sorry)

I went for the most compatible solution. Maybe after release this can be tested if other devs agree.
