image/color: tweak the YCbCr to RGBA conversion formula.

Before, calling the RGBA method of YCbCr color would return red values
in the range [0x0080, 0xff80]. After, the range is [0x0000, 0xffff] and
is consistent with what Gray colors' RGBA method returns. In particular,
pure black, pure white and every Gray color in between are now exactly
representable as a YCbCr color.

This fixes a regression from Go 1.4 (where YCbCr{0x00, 0x80, 0x80} was
no longer equivalent to pure black), introduced by golang.org/cl/8073 in
the Go 1.5 development cycle. In Go 1.4, the +0x80 rounding was not
noticable when Cb == 0x80 && Cr == 0x80, because the YCbCr to RGBA
conversion truncated to 8 bits before multiplying by 0x101, so the
output range was [0x0000, 0xffff].

The TestYCbCrRoundtrip fuzzy-match tolerance grows from 1 to 2 because
the YCbCr to RGB conversion now maps to an ever-so-slightly larger
range, along with the usual imprecision of accumulating rounding errors.

Also s/int/int32/ in ycbcr.go. The conversion shouldn't overflow either
way, as int is always at least 32 bits, but it does make it clearer that
the computation doesn't depend on sizeof(int).

Fixes #11691

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
