ipa: raspberrypi: Rate-limit the controller algorithms

The controller algorithms currently run on every frame provided to the
IPA by the pipeline handler. This may be undesirable for very fast fps
operating modes where it could significantly increase the computation
cycles (per unit time) without providing any significant changes to the
IQ parameters. The added latencies could also cause dropped frames.

Pass the FrameBuffer timestamp to the IPA through the controls. This
timestamp will be used to rate-limit the controller algorithms to run
with a minimum inter-frame time given by a compile time constant,
currently set to 16.66ms. On startup, we don't rate-limit the algorithms
until after the number of frames required for convergence.
