21.0.476

When writing OCIO color space metadata in image files, we now save the color names as defined by Nanocolor (if they are available) instead of the full OCIO color name. This should help transitioning to future versions of ACES/OCIO. The envrionment variable HOUDINI_OCIO_NANOCOLOR_NAMES can be used to disable this behaviour.
