libcamera: controls: Updates to gain and exposure controls
Rename: ManualExposure -> ExposureTime ManualGain -> AnalogueGain Use micro-seconds units for ExposureTime. This is changed from milli- seconds. The latter would not allow very low exposure times. AnalogueGain switch to use a float to allow fractional gain adjustments. Update the uvcvideo pipeline handler to use the new exposure and gain units. For ExposureTime, UVC uses units of 100 micro-seconds, so map the values before setting V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_ABSOLUTE. For AnalogueGain, UVC has no explicit gain units, so map the default gain value to 1.0 and linearly scale to the requested value.
