[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 3/4] libcamera: controls: Store array control size in Control class

Baside just identifying a control, the Control class enables usage of
the control type for metaprogramming. This is mainly used by the
ControlList get() and set() functions to type-check and cast the control
value automatically at compilation time.

Extend this with a new Size template argument for the Control class that
specifies the size of array controls. Use it already in the
ControlList::set() overload that takes an std::initializer list to
construct the Span with an explicit size, enabling usage of the function
for fixed-size array controls.

A possible future extension would be to pass the size to the ControlId
constructor and store it internally, enabling access to the size at
runtime, for instance to perform validity checks.
