[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2] libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: provide hasMediaController()

The V4L2Capability has helpers to interogate the capabilities
of a device.

V4L2VideoDevice::enumPixelformats accesses the raw capabilites to check
if the device is supported by a MediaController device.

Provide a helper, and update the usage.

This might also be used in the upcoming RPi MediaController series, but
shouldn't block integration of that ...

v2:
 - Add documentation
 - Simplify usage in V4L2VideoDevice::enumPixelformats
