Description

Hi,
When I'm using GoogleEarthImageryProvider the imagery appears blurred and whitish compared to the image viewed in google default page.

After some investigation it seems that the tileScheme definition is wrong and the tiles which the provider returns are not in the correct level.

The whitish image is because the default gamma value is 1.9, instead of 1.0 (probably a typo).

I have fixed the module (the above two problems) and it works well.

Could I do a pull request for that?
I have no experience with contributing code to cesium...

Research direction

Start by locating GoogleEarthImageryProvider in the JavaScript source and inspect its tile scheme and default gamma. Reproduce the blurred, whitish imagery against the Google default page, then verify that the provider returns the correct tile levels and uses gamma 1.0.
