Also fixes #738

Chroma QP mapping tables are modified such that the relationship
between luma PSNR an chroma PSNR is on average closer to the
one observed with HM 16.20.
The net effect is that bits are shifted from chroma to luma and
BD-rate differences between VTM and HM are most consistent across
components.

BD-rate between VTM 8.0 and HM 16.20:
AI: -24.09% -31.32% -32.82%
RA: -34.84% -46.33% -46.91%
LB: -30.02% -42.62% -40.94%
LP: -33.12% -44.28% -42.80%

BD-rate between VTM 8.0 plus this change and HM 16.20:
AI: -24.99% -25.35% -26.86%
RA: -35.76% -39.04% -40.03%
LB: -30.56% -32.89% -30.77%
LP: -33.62% -34.86% -32.56%

- remove picture partitioning section from CTC file (so that they can be combined wit partitioning in any order)
- remove random access parameters from partitioning examples (combines well with AI or LD too)
- add examples for three slices with slice layout inference from subpictures and without
- try to make naming somewhat consistent

Added main_10 and main_444_10 profiles, and removed old profiles.
Use 'auto' to automatically select (changed default of cfg files).
Use 'none' to produce non-conforming bitstreams.

Also added a structure that describes the features of each
profile/level/tier, should be added as further constraint checks added.

  - Fix cross tile / slice prediction bugs.
  - Update config files and documentation with new tile / slice config options.

Add a description of ChromaTS into the software manual.

fix some JCCR related indentation, encapsulation, and descriptive text, add --PYUV to software manual

This should implement the following from the meeting notes:

For CTC, it was initially agreed to use the new syntax to achieve
the chroma QP settings proposed in O0186 for SDR, N0221 for PQ,
O0433 for HLG. For the joint table, use the average of the Cb and Cr
tables. Below QP = 16, chroma and luma QP should be equal for CEs
using low QP.

Decision (CTC): This was further discussed in the closing plenary
on Friday. It was suggested to keep the anchor QP settings for PQ
and HLG as in CTC of prior meeting cycle. For SDR, see above.
Below QP = 16, chroma and luma QP should be equal for CEs using low
QP.
