app: make explicit that "White Balance" auto effect works in linear space.

This commit doesn't actually changes anything, but it fixes the
gimp_histogram_new() call, since the argument is supposed to be a
GimpTRCType, not a boolean. Yet GIMP_TRC_LINEAR is the first value in
the enum type, so it's indeed the same as FALSE.
I also set the "trc" property to "gimp:levels" config object explicitly,
to the same TRC value as the histogram, so that this doesn't depend on
the default anymore (which is linear too, right now; so this part
doesn't change a thing here again), and therefore would survive to any
possible default change in the future.

Note that it was considered to set this all to non-linear, just as it
used to be in 2.10, as requested in #15738. After discussing it with
Øyvind on IRC, we concluded that working in linear space may be a nicer
default for this feature, as we'd be doing a "meaningful rebalancing of
photon count per component". Now there may be cases where doing a
white-balancing in non-linear may yield better result, of course. For
these case, you may still go to "Levels", set to non-linear, and hit
"Auto Input Levels". This is exactly the same code runing (but in
non-linear space). The "White Balance" action still needs to be the
simple non-GUI option and keeping work in linear seems like the more
appropriate default here.
