Exposure compensation was a useful feature for better previewing
colors when scene exposure was not neutral. It was removed in
4bf15a06f3 - D15350
after any socket could be connected to the shader output.

This commit reintroduce this feature, but makes it disabled by default
as this workflow is not always wanted. In the case of an NPR scene
where every material is emissive so there are no actual lighting
calculations, the user may want to use the preview feature to quickly
select a texture without having it exposure-compensated.

Fixes #105065


@JacquesLucke, @GregZaal

Not sure whether to enable the feature by default or not. I know it’s been annoying for me on some projects, but nice on others.

Note: this has no effect if the exposure settings are at default values.

Since I'm not using this myself, it would be useful if you could get one or two users to comment here that this is working as expected with your patch.

@GregZaal Since you wrote the original code, I think you’d be in the best position to know if it behaves properly!
