libcamera: Add SensorCropMaximum property

The SensorCropMaximum camera property reports the location of that
part of the image sensor array that can be scaled to produce the
output images, given in native sensor pixels. It will normally change
when a new camera mode is selected, and can be used to implement
digital zoom.
