[PATCH v2 00/19] Software ISP refactoring

[Milan Zamazal]

The purpose of this patch series is to bring software ISP code
structuring closer to the hardware pipelines.  Most notably, the API
around algorithm.h is used now.  This should make software ISP easier to
understand, extend, maintain, and code-share with the other pipelines.

What is omitted in the patch series:

- Any bigger or unrelated functional changes.  The purpose of this
  series is code restructuring, which is enough already.
- Stats and params buffers are still used in the original way.  Making
  their handling closer to the hardware pipelines will be a subject of
  followup patches.  This series is a preparation step for that.
- Any IPA code sharing with hardware pipelines.  If there is an
  opportunity for this, it can be addressed in followup patches.

Changes in v2:
- Several cosmetic changes and patch arrangement problems pointed out by
  Umang applied.
- Added ipa_context.cpp, as a documentation file for ipa_context.h.
- Added a clarification source comment why SoftwareIsp::queueBuffers needs
  to get the frame number as a separate argument.
- core_ipa_interface.h no longer included in module.h.
- The context used by "14/19 Move black level to an algorithm module"
  was changed and the black level changes tracking was put closer to the
  pre-refactoring version, which makes more sense.
