three.js incompatibilities in r162 due to code deprecated in r152

[hybridherbst]

Description of the bug

three.js r162 will remove the legacy LinearEncoding and sRGBEncoding fields (they're already gone on dev). See mrdoob/three.js#27656

This currently breaks the v6 postprocessing package. I think while v7 is in alpha it would be good to still support recent three.js versions if possible.

They have now been deprecated since r152 (https://discourse.threejs.org/t/updates-to-color-management-in-three-js-r152/50791), so I think it's been enough time to update here too. What do you think?

To Reproduce

Use v6 version of the package with three dev branch (after the merge of this PR).

Thanks for the heads-up!

Yeah, we'll have to raise the minimum version of three to r152 and remove the old code.

I think while v7 is in alpha it would be good to still support recent three.js versions if possible.

v6 will be updated regularly at least until v7 is production-ready. For v7, I'm thinking about supporting the six most recent releases of three. Older versions may still work, but won't be officially supported. The first release of v7 will also most likely require the most recent version of three at that time, expanding forward until the range includes six releases.

Technically speaking, every peer dependency version update would be a breaking change that necessitates a major version bump, but almost every three release contains some kind of breaking change, so I'm not sure if we should follow semver that closely in that regard.

I know, three versioning is fun...

[for 6.x] raise the minimum version of three to r152 and remove the old code
[for 7.x] will also most likely require the most recent version of three at that time

Both sound good! Thanks!
