Keep the sigmoid as the default curve; Camera Raw's tone is a choice

Browse Source 
The Camera Raw default rested on comparing against Lightroom previews
of photographs that carry the user's Lightroom edits — HSL saturation
Blue +58, Aqua +50 and more, Highlights -40, Blacks -20, in every
DNG's XMP — so it measured the house look, not Camera Raw's base
rendering. Under the ACR3 curve _MG_9080 renders brighter than its
Lightroom preview (mean 0.39 against 0.31).

So the curve choice's first variant, the default, is the sigmoid again
and every raw renders as in 0.20.0 apart from baseline exposure. D21
and camera-profiles.md §12 now say the default is open, to be decided
by measuring against Lightroom exports of unedited photographs. Tests
that are about Camera Raw's tone choose it explicitly.

*Amended the same day:* the default is **not** decided. The measurement below was against
Lightroom previews of photographs carrying the user's Lightroom edits — a house look of HSL
saturation (Blue +58, Aqua +50, …), Highlights −40 and Blacks −20 in every DNG's XMP — so it said
nothing about Camera Raw's base rendering. Under Camera Raw's curve `_MG_9080` renders brighter
than its Lightroom preview (mean 0.39 against 0.31). The sigmoid stays the default; the curve
below is a choice; the default is decided by measurement against Lightroom exports of unedited
photographs (the `lr-fit` work). What follows is the original text.
**The view transform has two curves, and Camera Raw's is the default for every raw.** It is the
profile's `ProfileToneCurve`, or the ACR3 default curve where the profile has none or there is no
