The ControlInfo class stores a range of valid values for a control. Its
name is vague, as "info" has multiple meanings. Rename it to
ControlRange.

The ControlInfo id member is only used in the toString() method of the
class, and nowhere else externally. The same way that ControlValue
doesn't store a ControlId, ControlInfo shouldn't. Remove it.

The ControlList::update() method is unused. While it is meant to fulfil
a need of applications, having no user means that it is most probably
not correctly designed. Remove the method, we will add it back later if
needed.

Rework the control-related classes to improve the API towards
applications. The goal is to enable writing code similar to
Request *req = ...;
ControlList &controls = req->controls();
controls->set(controls::AwbEnable, false);
controls->set(controls::ManualExposure, 1000);
...
int32_t exposure = controls->get(controls::ManualExposure);
with the get and set operations ensuring type safety for the control
values. This is achieved by creating the following classes:
- Control defines controls and is the main way to reference a control.
It is a template class to allow methods using it to refer to the
control type.
- ControlId is the base class of Control. It stores the control ID, name
and type, and can be used in contexts where a control needs to be
referenced regardless of its type (for instance in lists of controls).
This class replaces ControlIdentifier.
- ControlValue is kept as-is.
The ControlList class now exposes two template get() and set() methods
that replace the operator[]. They ensure type safety by infering the
value type from the Control reference that they receive.
The main way to refer to a control is now through the Control class, and
optionally through its base ControlId class. The ControlId enumeration
is removed, replaced by a list of global Control instances. Numerical
control IDs are turned into macros, and are still exposed as they are
required to communicate with IPAs (especially to deserialise control
lists). They should however not be used by applications.
Auto-generation of header and source files is removed for now to keep
the change simple. It will be added back in the future in a more
elaborate form.

Make the control API more explicit when dealing with integer controls by
specifying the size. We already do so for 64-bit integers, using int64_t
and ControlTypeInteger64, do the same for 32-bit integers.

The ControlValue get accessors are implemented with functions of
different names, whlie the set accessors use polymorphism to support
different control types. This isn't very consistent and intuitive. Make
the API clearer by using template methods. This will also have the added
advantage that support for the new types will only require adding
template specialisations, without adding new methods.

The type of a control value is also the type of the control. Shorten the
ControlValueType enumeration to ControlType, and rename ControlValue* to
ControlType* for better clarity.

The ControlList class implements a map from control specifier to control
ID. To avoid constant lookups of ControlInfo when using the class in the
libcamera core or in pipeline handlers, the map uses ControlInfo
pointers instead of ControlId values. This is however not very
convenient for applications or pipeline handlers, as they would be
forced to first look up the ControlInfo pointers for the controls they
want to access. Facilitate ease of use of ControlLists by implementing
an internal lookup of the ControlInfo from the controls provided by the
Camera.

Add a set of data types to support controls:
- ControlValue stores a control type and value in a generic way
- ControlId enumerates all the control identifiers
- ControlIdentifier declares the types of a control and map their names
- ControlInfo stores runtime information for controls
- ControlList contains a set of control info and value pairs
The control definitions map is generated from the controls documentation
to ensure that the two will always be synchronised.
