This fixes PAL-M TBCs not opening in filter_tune tool. For later: decide if PAL-M will be named only either "PAL-M", "MPAL" or "PALM".

Yeah I'm not sure why the code uses MPAL, can probably just change that. I'm not really fond of using a hyphen in the name since it's a symbol that tends to have a meaning in programming and markup languages and thus the name can't map easily to an enum variant so I would maybe prefer PALM or PAL_M to PAL-M. |

PAL-M TBCs were not opening in filter_tune tool because .tbc.json file stores "PAL-M", but whatever reason the vhs-decode code calls PAL-M as "MPAL". This aliases "PAL-M" to "MPAL" and makes filter_tune work again.
For later: decide if PAL-M will be named only either "PAL-M", "MPAL" or "PALM".
I suggest calling It "PAL-M" because even though the entire code calls It "MPAL", It's a simple string with no more than 5 characters (in SECAM's case, no more than 8), and nobody calls PAL-M like that. Also, If so, you would need to change the TBC/JSON specifications, and that would break everything.
