Add the ability to embed the GIMP built-in sRGB profile upon exporting an image

Submitted by Elle Stone Link to original bug (#751030)
Description
Many GIMP users choose to edit using the GIMP built-in sRGB profile(s, now there's a linear version).
If these users want to export a final image to disk with an actual ICC profile embedded in the exported image, so far their only option has been to find and download an equivalent profile on disk and then assign the equivalent profile to the image before exporting it, or else use command line tools or another image editor to assign the equivalent profile on disk.
Many times the exported image really does need an embedded ICC profile, even if the image is an sRGB image:
-
Some print shops want an actual embedded ICC profile, to avoid having to guess what the color space really is.
-
Photographers who upload images to the web often want to embed an sRGB profile in the image, to accomodate issues with today's not-very-well-color-managed browsers.
-
When opening the exported and profileless image with another image editor, the user has to tell the other image editor what the correct profile is, which again means they need to find the equivalent profile on disk.
It would be very helpful if the user could request that the correct GIMP built-in sRGB profile be embedded in the image upon export.
