libcamera: camera_sensor: Add a new class to model a camera sensor

The CameraSensor class abstracts camera sensors and provides helper
functions to ease interactions with them. It is currently limited to
sensors that expose a single subdev, and offer the same frame sizes for
all media bus codes, but will be extended to support more complex
sensors as the needs arise.
