libcamera: controls: Updates to gain and exposure controls

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.
