libcamera: controls: Remove merge assertion
The ControlList merge operation is protected with an ASSERT to guarantee that the two lists are compatible. Unfortunately this assertion fails when we run IPAs in an isolated case as while the lists are compatible, the isolated IPA has a unique instance of the id map. This breaks the pointer comparison, and the assertion fails with a false positive. Remove the assertion, leaving only a todo in it's place as this breaks active users of the library.

/**
 * \class ControlSerializer
 * \brief Serializer and deserializer for control-related classes
 *
 * The control serializer is a helper to serialize and deserialize
 * ControlInfoMap and ControlValue instances for the purpose of communication
 * with IPA modules.
 *
 * Neither the ControlInfoMap nor the ControlList are self-contained data
 * container. ControlInfoMap references an external ControlId in each of its
 * entries, and ControlList references a ControlInfoMap for the purpose of
 * validation. Serializing and deserializing those objects thus requires a
 * context that maintains the associations between them. The control serializer
 * fulfils this task.
 *
 * ControlInfoMap instances can be serialized on their own, but require
 * ControlId instances to be provided at deserialization time. The serializer
 * recreates those ControlId instances and stores them in an internal cache,
 * from which the ControlInfoMap is populated.
 *
 * ControlList instances need to be associated with a ControlInfoMap when
 * deserialized. To make this possible, the control lists are serialized with a
 * handle to their ControlInfoMap, and the map is looked up from the handle at
 * deserialization time. To make this possible, the serializer assigns a
 * numerical handle to ControlInfoMap instances when they are serialized, and
 * stores the mapping between handle and ControlInfoMap both when serializing
 * (for the pipeline handler side) and deserializing (for the IPA side) them.
 * This mapping is used when serializing a ControlList to include the
 * corresponding ControlInfoMap handle in the binary data, and when
 * deserializing to retrieve the corresponding ControlInfoMap.
 *
 * In order to perform those tasks, the serializer keeps an internal state that
 * needs to be properly populated. This mechanism requires the ControlInfoMap
 * corresponding to a ControlList to have been serialized or deserialized
 * before the ControlList is serialized or deserialized. Failure to comply with
 * that constraint results in serialization or deserialization failure of the
 * ControlList.
 *
 * The serializer can be reset() to clear its internal state. This may be
 * performed when reconfiguring an IPA to avoid constant growth of the internal
 * state, especially if the contents of the ControlInfoMap instances change at
 * that time. A reset of the serializer invalidates all ControlList and
 * ControlInfoMap that have been previously deserialized. The caller shall thus
 * proceed with care to avoid stale references.
