gstreamer: Provide framerate support for libcamerasrc

Control the framerate by passing the controls::FrameDurationLimits
during Camera::start(). Framerate in gstreamer is expressed as
GST_TYPE_FRACTION so we maximise on maintaining it as a fraction
throughout and only do arithematic computations as and when required
(to compute frame-duration and vice-versa).

To weed out abritrary framerate as input, place the clamping via the
controls::FrameDurationLimits provided after camera::configure() phase.
This is handled by a helper function
gst_libcamera_clamp_and_set_frameduration().

Set the bound checked framerate (done in the above mentioned helper)
into the caps and pass the ControlList containing the frame-duration
to Camera::start(ctrls).
