The algorithm computes R/G and B/G colour ratio statistics which we
should not allow to go to zero because there is clearly no gain you
could apply to R or B to equalise them. Instead flag such regions as
having "insufficient data" in the normal manner.

We need to be able to do things like enable/disable AGC for all the
channels, so most of the AGC controls are updated to be applied to all
channels. There are a couple of exceptions, such as setting explicit
shutter/gain values, which apply only to channel 0.

AWB writes this out during prepare, so we may as well read it in AGC
prepare as well. Reading it in process is wrong on the PiSP platform
because process runs before prepare, so the AWB status won't be there
(on vc4 it made no difference).

"Fast desaturation" is a technique that can help the AGC algorithm to
desaturate images more quickly when they are very
over-exposed. However, it uses digital gain to do this which can
confuse our HDR techniques. Therefore make it optional.

A channel constraint is somewhat similar to the upper/lower bound
constraints that we use elsewhere, but these constraints apply between
multiple AGC channels. For example, it lets you say things like "don't
let the channel 1 total exposure be more than 8x that of channel 0",
and so on. By using both an upper and lower bound constraint, you
could fix one AGC channel always to be a fixed ratio of another.
Also read a vector of them (if present) when loading the tuning file.

The switchMode, prepare and process methods are updated to implement
multi-channel AGC correctly:
* switchMode now invokes switchMode on all the channels (whether
active or not).
* prepare must find what channel the current frame is, and run on
behalf of that channel.
* process updates the most recent DeviceStatus and statistics for the
channel of the frame that has just arrived, but generates updated
values working through the active channels in round-robin fashion.
One minor detail in process is that we don't want to change the
DeviceStatus metadata of the current frame, so we now pass this to the
AgcChannel's process method, rather than letting it find the
DeviceStatus in the metadata.

This commit does the basic reorganisation of the code in order to
implement multi-channel AGC. The main changes are:
* The previous Agc class (in agc.cpp) has become the AgcChannel class
in (agc_channel.cpp).
* A new Agc class is introduced which is a wrapper round a number of
AgcChannels.
* The basic plumbing from ipa_base.cpp to Agc is updated to include a
channel number. All the existing controls are hardwired to talk
directly to channel 0.
There are a couple of limitations which we expect to apply to
multi-channel AGC. We're not allowing different frame durations to be
applied to the channels, nor are we allowing separate metering
modes. To be fair, supporting these things is not impossible, but
there are reasons why it may be tricky so they remain "TBD" for now.
This patch only includes the basic reorganisation and plumbing. It
does not yet update the important methods (switchMode, prepare and
process) to implement multi-channel AGC properly. This will appear in
a subsequent commit. For now, these functions are hard-coded just to
use channel 0, thereby preserving the existing behaviour.
