We have mixed terms between gain, analogue gain and the exposure value
gain.
Make it clear when we are using the analogue gain from the sensor, and
when we are using the calculated gain to be applied to the exposure
value to reach the target.

Until now, the algorithm makes complex assumptions when dividing the
exposure and analogue gain values. Instead, use a simpler clamping of
the shutter speed first, and then of the analogue gain, based on the
limits configured.

The gains are currently set as a uint32_t while the analogue gain is
passed as a double. We also have a default maximum analogue gain of 15
which is quite high for a number of sensors.
Use a maximum value of 8 which should really be configured by the IPA
and not fixed as it is now. While at it make it a double.

Instead of using static constants for those, use the limits of the

The exposure value is filtered in filterExposure() using the
currentExposure_ and setting a prevExposure_ variable. This is misnamed
as it is not the previous exposure, but a filtered value.
Rename it accordingly.

When zones are used for the grey world algorithm, they are only
considered if their average green value is at least 32/255 to exclude
zones that are too dark and don't provide relevant colour information
(on the opposite side of the spectrum, saturated regions are excluded by
the ImgU statistics engine).
The algorithm requires a minimal number of zones that meet this criteria
in order to run. Now that we correct the black level, the 32/255 minimal
value is a bit high and prevents the algorithm for running in low-light
conditions. Lower the value to 16/255 to fix it.

The AWB grey world algorithm tries to find a grey value and it can't do
it on over-exposed images. To exclude those, the saturation ratio is
used for each cell, and the cell is included only if this ratio is 0.
Now that we have changed the threshold, more cells may be considered as
partially saturated and excluded, preventing the algorithm from running
efficiently.
Change that behaviour, and consider 90% as a good enough ratio.

The AGC frame context needs to be initialised correctly for the first
iteration. Until now, the IPA uses the minimum exposure and gain values
and caches those in local variables.
In order to give the sensor limits to AGC, create a new structure in
IPASessionConfiguration. Store the exposure in time (and not line
duration) and the analogue gain after CameraSensorHelper conversion.
Set the gain and exposure appropriately to the current values known to
the IPA and remove the setting of exposure and gain in IPAIPU3 as those
are now fully controlled by IPU3Agc.

We can have a saturation ratio per cell, giving the percentage of pixels
over a threshold within a cell where 100% is set to 0xff.
The parameter structure 'ipu3_uapi_awb_config_s' contains four fields to
set the threshold, one per channel.
The blue field is also used to configure the ImgU and make it calculate
the saturation ratio or not.
Set a green value saturated when it is more than 230 (90% of the maximum
value 255, coded as 8191). As this is the only channel used for AGC,
there is no need to apply it to the other ones.

"using" directives are harmful in headers, as they propagate the
namespace short-circuit to all files that include the header, directly
or indirectly. Drop the directive from agc.h, and use utils::Duration
explicitly. While at it, shorten the namespace qualifier from
libcamera::utils:: to utils:: in agc.cpp for Duration.

The intel-ipu3.h public interface from the kernel does not define how to
parse the statistics for a cell. This had to be identified by a process
of reverse engineering, and later identifying the structures from [0]
leading to our custom definition of struct Ipu3AwbCell.
[0]
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/arc-camera/+/refs/heads/master/hal/intel/include/ia_imaging/awb_public.h
To improve the kernel interface, a proposal has been made to the
linux-kernel [1] to incorporate the memory layout for each cell into the
intel-ipu3 header directly.
[1]
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211005202019.253353-1-jeanmichel.hautbois@ideasonboard.com/
Update our local copy of the intel-ipu3.h to match the proposal and
change the AGC and AWB algorithms to reference that structure directly,
allowing us to remove the deprecated custom Ipu3AwbCell definition.

The pixels output by the camera normally include a black level, because
sensors do not always report a signal level of '0' for black. Pixels at
or below this level should be considered black and to achieve that, we
need to substract an offset to all the pixels. This can be taken into
account by reading the lowest value of a special region on sensors which
is not exposed to light. This provides a substracting factor to be
able to adjust the expected black levels in the resulting images.
For a camera outputting 10-bit pixel values (in the range 0 to 1023) a
typical black level might be 64. It is a fixed value, obtained by
capturing a raw frame with minimum exposure and gain fixed to 1.0 while
covering the sensor (the darker the better). We consider it good enough
as a very first approximation, until we measure it during a tuning
process and include it in a configuration file

The statistics buffer 'ipu3_uapi_awb_raw_buffer' stores the ImgU
calculation results in a buffer aligned horizontally to a multiple of 4
cells. The AWB loop should take care of it to add the proper offset
between lines and avoid any staircase effect.
It is no longer required to pass the grid configuration context to the
private functions called from process() which simplifies the code flow.

The algorithm uses the statistics of a cell only if there is not too
much saturated pixels in it. The grey world algorithm works fine when
there are a limited number of outliers.
Consider a valid zone to be at least 80% of unsaturated cells in it.
This value could very well be configurable, and make the algorithm more
or less tolerant.
While at it, implement it in a configure() call as it will not change
during execution, and cache the cellsPerZone values estimated with
std::round as we are using cmath.

The IspStatsRegion structure was introduced as an attempt to prepare for
a generic AWB algorithm structure. The structure name by itself is not
explicit and it is too optimistic to try and make a generic one for now.
Its role is to accumulate the pixels in a given zone. Rename it to
accumulator, and remove the uncounted field at the same time. It is
always possible to know how many pixels are not relevant for the
algorithm by calculating total-counted. The uncounted field was only
declared and not used. Amend the documentation accordingly.

Introduce a new algorithm to manage the tone mapping handling of the
IPU3.
The initial algorithm is chosen to configure the gamma contrast curve
which moves the implementation out of AWB for simplicity. As it is
initialised with a default gamma value of 1.1, there is no need to use
the default table at initialisation anymore.
This demonstrates the way to use process() call when the EventStatReady
comes in. The function calculates the LUT in the context of a frame, and
when prepare() is called, the parameters are filled with the updated
values.
AGC is modified to take the new process interface into account.

Introduce three functions in the Algorithm class to manage algorithms:
- configure which is called when IPA is configured only
- prepare called on EventFillParams event at each frame when the request
is queued
- process called on EventStatReady event at each frame completion when
the statistics have been generated.
The existing AGC implementation already has a function named process(),
though it has different arguments. Adding the new virtual process()
interface causes a compiler warning due to the AGC implementation
overloading a virtual function, even though the overload can be resolved
correctly.
Temporarily disable the warning in this commit to maintain bisection
until the AGC is converted to the new interface.

The abstract Algorithm class was originally placed in libipa as an
attempt define a generic algorithm container. This was a little
optimistic and pushed a bit far too early.
Move the Algorithm class into the IPU3 which is the only user of the
class, as we adapt it to support modular algorithm components for the
IPU3.
Not documenting the namespace may cause issues with Doxygen in libipa.
The file libipa.cpp is thus created as an empty file for now, but we
can leverage it in the future to add more global libipa documentation,
and possibly code too.
