[PATCH v3 1/9] ipa: libipa: Add generic Interpolator class

The MatrixInterpolator is great for interpolation of matrices for
different color temperatures. It has however one limitation - it can
only handle matrices. For LSC it would be great to interpolate the LSC
tables (or even polynomials) using the same approach. Add a generic
Interpolator class based on the existing MatrixInterpolator. This class
can be adapted to any other type using partial template specialization.

+ * In this case, \a key_name would be 'ct', and \a value_name can be either
