This denoise algorithm class will be used to pass in the user requested
denoise operating mode to the controller. The existing Denoise
controller will derive from this new DenoiseAlgorithm class.
Add a denoise mode field in the denoise status metadata object for the
IPA to use when configuring the ISP.

This change is in anticipation of the addition of a DenoiseAlgorithm
base class which the SDN class will derive from. We want to match the
metadata object name with the base class algorithm name.
This renames:
- SdnStatus metadata object to DenoiseStatus
- "sdn.status" metadata string key to "denoise.status"
- sdn_status.h header file to denoise_status.h

In order to provide an optimal split between shutter speed and gain, the
AGC must know the maximum allowable shutter speed, as limited by the
maximum frame duration (either application provided or the default).
Add a new API function, SetMaxShutter, to the AgcAlgorithm class. The
IPA provides the maximum shutter speed for AGC calculations. This
applies to both the manual and auto AGC modes.

The existing framerate/vblank calculations did not account for the
sensor mode limits. This commit extracts vblank limits from the sensor
v4l2 controls, and stores it in the camera modes structure.
Exposure and vblank value calculations now use values clamped to the
sensor mode limits. The libcamera::controls::FrameDurations metadata
return values now reflect the minimum and maximum after clamping.

Users are free to avoid loading certain control algorithms from the
json tuning file if they wish, and this could mean that some libcamera
controls will therefore not be available. Currently we don't have a
good means of indicating which these are, therefore failing completely
when an application tries to use one is unhelpful - it is better just
to issue a warning.
Note that once we can indicate this properly, applications should
check for supported controls as this change may be reverted.

Add support for setting V4L2_CID_VBLANK appropriately when setting
V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE. This will allow adaptive framerates during
viewfinder use cases (e.g. when the exposure time goes above 33ms, we
can reduce the framerate to lower than 30fps).
The minimum and maximum frame durations are provided via libcamera
controls, and will prioritise exposure time limits over any AGC request.
V4L2_CID_VBLANK is controlled through the staggered writer, just like
the exposure and gain controls.

Previously the CamHelper was returning the number of frames to drop
(on account of AGC/AWB converging). This wasn't really appropriate,
it's better for the algorithms to do it as they know how many frames
they might need.
The CamHelper::HideFramesStartup method should now just be returning
the number of frames to hide because they're bad/invalid in some way,
not worrying about the AGC/AWB. For many sensors, the correct value
for this is zero. But the ov5647 needs updating as it must return 2.

When the AWB is started from "cold" with fixed colour gains, we try to
estimate the colour temperature this corresponds to (if a calibrated
CT curve was supplied). When fixed colour gains are set after the AWB
has been running, we leave the CT estimate alone, as the one we have
is probably sensible.
This estimated colour is passed out in the metadata for other
algorithms - notably ALSC - to use.

The number of frames to drop (not display) is passed back now from the
start method, not configure. This means applications have a chance to
set fixed exposure/gain before starting the camera and this can affect
the frame drop count that is returned.
Note how we need to be able to tell the very first time we start the
camera from subsequent restarts, hence addition of the "firstStart_"
flag.
Both the IPA implementation file and the pipeline handler need
matching modifications.

If the IPA fails during configuration, return an error flag to the
pipeline handler and fail the use case gracefully.
At present, the IPA configuration can fail for the following reasons:
- The sensor is not recognised, and fails to open a CamHelper object.
- The pipeline handler did not pass in controls for the ISP and sensor.

The exposure times in the exposure modes were causing AGC oscillations
because the algorithm was demanding long unachievable exposure times
but, without working sensor metadata, thought it was getting them when
actually it was not. We fix it by making the exposure profile request

AGC, when paused, sets the last exposure/gain it wrote to be its
"fixed" values and will therefore continue to return them. When
resumed, we clear them so that both will float again.
This approach is better because AGC can be paused and we can
subsequently change (for example) the exposure and the gain won't
float again.
