libcamera: properties: Add model property
The model name must to the extent possible describe the sensor. For most
devices this is the model name of the sensor. While for some devices the
sensor model is unavailable as the sensor or the entire camera is part
of a larger unit and exposed as a black-box to the system. In such cases
the model name of the smallest component closest to the sensor must be
used.
