Instead of having one frame context constantly being updated,
this patch aims to introduce per-frame IPAFrameContext which
are stored in a ring buffer. Whenever a request is queued, a new
IPAFrameContext is created and inserted into the ring buffer.
The IPAFrameContext structure itself has been slightly extended
to store a frame id and a ControlList for incoming frame
controls (sent in by the application). The next step would be to
read and set these controls whenever the request is actually queued
to the hardware.
Since now we are working in multiples of IPAFrameContext, the
Algorithm::process() will actually take in a IPAFrameContext pointer
(as opposed to a nullptr while preparing for this change).

Currently we have a single structure of IPAFrameContext but
subsequently, we shall have a ring buffer (or similar) container
to keep IPAFrameContext structures for each frame.
It would be a hassle to query out the frame context required for
process() (since they will reside in a ring buffer) by the IPA
for each process. Hence, prepare the process() libipa template to
accept a particular IPAFrameContext early on.
As for this patch, we shall pass in the pointer as nullptr, so
that the changes compile and keep working as-is.

Currently, IPAFrameContext consolidates the values computed by the
active state of the algorithms, along with the values applied on
the sensor.
Moving ahead, we want to have a frame context associated with each
incoming request (or frame to be captured). This shouldn't necessarily
be tied to "active state" of the algorithms hence:
- Rename current IPAFrameContext -> IPAActiveState
This will now reflect the latest active state of the algorithms and
has nothing to do with any frame-related ops/values.
- Re-instate IPAFrameContext with a sub-structure 'sensor' currently
storing the exposure and gain value.
Adapt the various access to the frame context to the new changes
as described above.
Subsequently, the re-instated IPAFrameContext will be extended to
contain a frame number and ControlList to remember the incoming
request controls provided by the application. A ring-buffer will
be introduced to store these frame contexts for a certain number
of frames.

Instead of having a local cached value for line duration, store it in
the IPASessionConfiguration::sensor structure.
While at it, configure the default analogue gain and shutter speed to
controlled fixed values.
The latter is set to be 10ms as it will in most cases be close to the
one needed, making the AGC faster to converge.

Remove the verbose #ifndef/#define/#endif pattern for maintaining

This simplifies the headers, and prevents redundant changes when

The "current" prefix in the currentYGain variable name is confusing:
- In Agc::estimateLuminance(), the variable contains the gain to be
applied to the image, which is neither a "current" gain nor a "Y"
gain. Rename it to "gain".
- In Agc::computeExposure(), the variable contains the gain computed by
the relative luminance method, so rename it to "yGain".
While at it, rename variables to match the libcamera coding style.

The AGC computes the average relative luminance of the frame and calls
the value "normalized luma", "brightness" or "initialY". The latter is
the most accurate term, as the relative luminance is abbreviated Y, but
the "initial" prefix isn't accurate.
Standardize the vocabulary on "relative luminance" in code and comments,
abbreviating it to Y when needed.
While at it, rename variables to match the libcamera coding style.

Previously, the exposure value was calculated based on the estimated
shutter time and gain applied. Now that we have the real values for the
current frame, use those before estimating the next one and rename the
variable accordingly.
As the exposure value is updated in the beginning of the computation,
there is no need to initialize effectiveExposureValue anymore in the
configure call, and it can be a local variable and not a class variable
anymore.

When an image is partially saturated, its brightness is not increasing
linearly when the shutter time or gain increases. It is a big issue with
a backlight as the algorithm is fading to darkness right now.
Introduce a function to estimate the brightness of the frame, based on
the current exposure/gain and loop on it several times to estimate it
again and approach the non linear function.

Now that we have the real exposure applied at each frame, remove the
early return based on a frame counter and compute the gain for each
frame.
Introduce a number of startup frames during which the filter speed is
1.0, meaning we apply instantly the exposure value calculated and not a
slower filtered one. This is used to have a faster convergence, and
those frames may be dropped in a future development to hide the
convergance process from the viewer.

The pipeline handler populates the new sensorControls ControlList, to
have the effective exposure and gain values for the current frame. This
is done when a statistics buffer is received.
Make those values the frameContext::sensor values for the frame when the
EventStatReady event is received.
AGC also needs to use frameContext.sensor as its input values and
frameContext.agc as its output values. Modify computeExposure by passing
it the frameContext instead of individual exposure and gain values.
