1766298 - Make video-dynamic-range: high match only for macOS 11+

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

We've decided that our messaging on FF 100 will claim macOS HDR support for macOS 11+. Let's make the capabilities reporting match that so we don't confuse users on earlier macOS who visit YT and get served HDR content that might not display correctly (due to Bug 1763781 and any other issues we haven't found yet).
