This commit adds support for monochrome (greyscale) raw sensors. These
are sensors that have no colour filter array, so all pixels are the
same and there are no distinct colour channels.
These sensors still require many of an ISP's processing stages, such
as denoise, tone mapping, but not those that involve colours (such as
demosaic, or colour matrices).

CameraSensorInfo structure is designed to pass in camera sensor related
information from pipeline-handler to IPA. Since the pipeline-handler
and IPA are connected via mojom IPC IPA interface, the interface
itself provides a more suitable placement of CameraSensorInfo,
instead of camera_sensor.h (which is a libcamera internal header
ultimately, at this point).
As CameraSensorInfo is already defined in core.mojom, it is just
a matter of removing [skipHeader] tag to allow code-generation
of CameraSensorInfo.
Finally, update header paths to include CameraSensorInfo definition
from IPA interfaces instead of "libcamera/internal/camera_sensor.h".

The minimum and maximum vblanking can change when a new format is
applied to the sensor subdevice, so be sure to retrieve up-to-date
values.
The V4L2Device acquires the new updateControlInfo() method to perform
this function, and which the CameraSensor calls automatically if its
setFormat method is used to update the sensor.
However, not all pipeline handlers invoke the setFormat method
directly, so the new method must be made publicly available for
pipeline handlers to call if they need to.

Since commit 96aecfe365 ("libcamera: camera_sensor: Use active area
size as resolution") the CameraSensor::resolution() method returned the
sensor's active pixel area size.
As the CameraSensor::resolution() method is widely used in the library
code base to retrieve the maximum frame size the sensor can produce,
in case it is smaller than the pixel area size the returned size cannot
be used to configure the sensor correctly.
Fix this by returning the maximum frame resolution the sensor can
produce, or the pixel area size in case the sensor embeds and ISP that
can upscale and the supported maximum frame size is thus larger that
the pixel array size.

Camera sensors can include an ISP, which may be reported as a separate
entity from the pixel array in the media graph.
Support such sensors by accepting MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_ISP as a valid
entity type. This allows using sensors that can be fully (or at least
meaningfully) configured through the ISP's source pad only. Sensors that
require further configuration, on the ISP sink pad and/or on the pixel
array's source pad, will require further extension to the CameraSensor

YUV sensors don't provide the necessary information to fill
CameraSensorInfo, as they include an ISP and provide a higher-level API
that doesn't always expose low-level information. The CameraSensor class
makes low-level V4L2 controls mandatory for all sensors, which prevents
usage of YUV sensors with the simple pipeline handler.
Make CameraSensor::sensorInfo() available for raw sensors only. This
won't introduce any regression in pipeline handlers that currently use
the sensorInfo() function as they all operate with raw sensors, and
won't be a limitation for the simple pipeline handler as well as it
doesn't use sensor info. If part of the sensor info (such as the active
pixel array size for instance) becomes useful to expose for YUV sensors
in the future, the sensorInfo() function can be extended to report that
information only and skip data that is only available for raw sensors.

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

The CameraSensor class assumes that camera sensors support the exact
same list of sizes of all media bus codes. While allowing a simpler API,
this assumption is incorrect and is blocking usage of some camera
sensors.
Relaxing the constraint is possible without changes to the CameraSensor
API syntax, but requires changing its semantics. The sizes() function
now returns the list of all sizes for all media bus codes, and the
getFormat() function now searches in all supported media bus codes. The
former is likely not the most useful option for pipeline handlers, but
the sizes() function is currently unused. Designing a better API will
require inspecting current and expected future use cases in pipeline
handlers to determine proper heuristics.
