There are quite a few C++20 features I'd love to use in libcamera. We
could finally replace Span with std::span :-)

Couldn't it be done simply by inheriting from
control_type<std::underlying_type_t<T>> ? I've considered that, but
given that we have standardized enums to use int32_t as the underlying
type of libcamera controls, I decided not to go that way.
