libcamera: controls: Expose string controls as std::string_view

When retrieving the value from a `ControlValue` usually one of two
things happen: a small, trivially copyable object is returned by
value; or a view into the internal buffer is provided. This is true
for everything except strings, which are returned in `std::string`,
incurring the overhead of string construction.

To guarantee no potentially "expensive" copies, use `std::string_view`
pointing to the internal buffer to return the value. This is similar
to how other array-like types are returned with a `Span<>`.

This is an API break, but its scope is limited to just `properties::Model`.
