Currently, we only use formatInfoMap in two places:

- in V4L2SubdeviceFormat::bitsPerPixel()
- in the << operator

The former will complain with an error message and return 0 if the media
bus code is unknown, the latter will print the hex value.

bitsPerPixel() is used in CameraSensor::sensorInfo() only. We thus
complain already if a sensor has an unknown output format. We however
don't complain about unknown formats anywhere else, and there may thus
be places where we already handle them silently. I'm thinking in
particular about format propagation in the simple pipeline handler,
where we just get the format on the output of a subdevice and set it on
the input of the connected subdevice, without caring about the exact
format. We may also be use MEDIA_BUS_FMT_METADATA_FIXED without knowing
it, with the change here an attempt to call getFormat() on a subdev pad
that carries metadata will return in -EINVAL.

I would prefer keeping the current behaviour of selecting a reasonable
default in this patch series, and then add a stricter check on top if we
want to go that way.
