Add support for using separate YAML files for controls and properties
generation. The mapping of vendor/pipeline handler to control file is
done through the controls_map variable in include/libcamera/meson.build.
This simplifies management of vendor control definitions and avoids
possible merge conflicts when changing the control_ids.yaml file for
core and draft controls. With this change, libcamera and draft controls
and properties files are designated the 'libcamera' vendor tag.
In this change, we also rename control_ids.yaml -> control_ids_core.yaml
and property_ids.yaml -> property_ids_core.yaml to designate these as
core libcamera controls.

Add support for vendor-specific controls and properties to libcamera.
The controls/properties are defined by a "vendor" tag in the YAML
control description file, for example:
vendor: rpi
controls:
- MyExampleControl:
type: string
description: |
Test for libcamera vendor-specific controls.
This will now generate a control id in the libcamera::controls::rpi
namespace, ensuring no id conflict between different vendors, core or
draft libcamera controls. Similarly, a ControlIdMap control is generated
in the libcamera::controls::rpi namespace.
A #define LIBCAMERA_HAS_RPI_VENDOR_CONTROLS is also generated to allow
applications to conditionally compile code if the specific vendor
controls are present. For the python bindings, the control is available
with libcamera.controls.rpi.MyExampleControl. The above controls
example applies similarly to properties.
Existing libcamera controls defined in control_ids.yaml are given the
"libcamera" vendor tag.
A new --mode flag is added to gen-controls.py to specify the mode of
operation, either 'controls' or 'properties' to allow the code generator
to correctly set the #define string.
As a drive-by, sort and redefine the output command line argument in
gen-controls.py and gen-py-controls.py to ('--output', '-o') for
consistency.

We add an HdrMode control (to enable and disable HDR processing)
and an HdrChannel, which indicates what kind of HDR frame (short, long
or medium) has just arrived.
Currently the HdrMode supports the following values:
* Off - no HDR processing at all.
* MultiExposureUnmerged - frames at multiple different exposures are
produced, but not merged together. They are returned "as is".
* MultiExposure - frames at multiple different exposures are merged
to create HDR images.
* SingleExposure - multiple frames all at the same exposure are
merged to create HDR images.
* Night - multiple frames will be combined to create "night mode"
images.

Flicker is the term used to describe brightness banding or oscillation
of images caused typically by artificial lighting driven by a 50 or
60Hz mains supply. We add three controls intended to be used by
AEC/AGC algorithms:
AeFlickerMode to enable flicker avoidance.
AeFlickerPeriod to set the flicker period "manually".
AeFlickerDetected to report any flicker that is currently detected.

Update the AfMode control description to explicitly define a
startup/default behaviour.
On startup, the camera will move the lens to the position given by the
default value of the LensPosition control if operating in manual focus
mode. Typically this would be the hyperfocal position of the lens.

Array controls specify the array size through the YAML 'size' element,
which stores a list of values, one per dimension. Variable-size arrays
currently use an empty 'size' list, which prevents describing the number
of dimensions of the array.
Improve this by using the same notation for fixed-size and variable-size
array controls. Dimensions that are not fixed are described as a string
instead of an integer, such as [n], [n,3] or [w,h]. The strings have
currently no special meaning, this may change in the future.

The python3-yaml package (containing the PyYAML Python package) shipped
by Debian stable is documented as a YAML 1.1 parser:
Python3-yaml is a complete YAML 1.1 parser and emitter for Python3.
PyYAML doesn't implement YAML 1.2 support, but ignores the minor number
of the YAML directive, and thus doesn't choke on the libcamera internal
files used to generate format- and control-related source code that
explicitly state conformance with YAML 1.2. Still, given that we don't
use any feature of YAML 1.2, and that the tuning data files now use YAML
1.1, switch the internal YAML files to version 1.1 as well for
consistency.
The main drawback of YAML 1.1 is that the unquoted literal strings Yes,
No, On and Off will be parsed as booleans. We need to be careful to
avoid those values in YAML files, until libcamera can switch to YAML 1.2
once more recent versions of libyaml get shipped by the distributions we
want to support. This is however not an issue introduced by this change,
as the existing YAML 1.2 files were parsed with the YAML 1.1 string
literal parsing rules anyway.

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.

Bring back auto-generation of control ids. In this version, both the
header and the source files are generated from a single YAML file that
stores all control definitions. This allows centralising controls in a
single file, while the previous version required keeping both
declarations (in a header) and documentation (in a the source) in sync
manually.
Using YAML as a format to store control definitions is a trade-off
between ease of use (there are many YAML parsers available) and
simplicity (XML was considered, but would have lead to more complex
processing). A new build time dependency is added on python3-yaml, which
should be available as a package in all distributions and build
environments.
The YAML format is likely to change over time as we improve
documentation of controls, the first version simply copies the
information currently available. Future improvements should also include
a YAML schema to validate the YAML source file.
