    image/color: tweak the formula for converting to gray. · 584e3ea2

    This makes grayModel and gray16Model in color.go use the exact same
    formula as RGBToYCbCr in ycbcr.go. They were the same formula in theory,
    but in practice the color.go versions used a divide by 1000 and the
    ycbcr.go versions used a (presumably faster) shift by 16.
    
    This implies the nice property that converting an image.RGBA to an
    image.YCbCr and then taking only the Y channel is equivalent to
    converting an image.RGBA directly to an image.Gray.
    
    The difference between the two formulae is non-zero, but small:
