[PATCH/RFC 17/32] libcamera: camera_sensor: Test for read-only HBLANK with READ_ONLY flag

[Laurent Pinchart]

The CameraSensor class tests if the sensor HBLANK control is read-only
by comparing the minimum and maximum values, and documents this as being
a workaround for the lack of a read-only control flag in V4L2. This is
incorrect, as the V4L2 API provides such a flag. Use it to replace the
workaround.
