This is an issue we'll need to tackle, and I don't know yet how to do
so. Not reporting properties and controls until after configure() is an
easy option, but it would make it more difficult for applications to
figure out if a camera is suitable for their needs, or just adapt their
behaviour based on the camera features. I don't want to drop reporting
supported controls at init time completely until we have a proper,
well-thought replacement.
