libcamera: bayer_format: Expand documentation
The current documentation of the BayerFormat::transform() function reports examples on the Bayer components ordering transformation for horizontal flip (mirroring) but not for vertical flip or for the combination of the two. It might be useful to complete the documentation to eases understanding of the transform() function on a sensor's Bayer pattern. Signed-off-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo@jmondi.org>
