[PATCH v3 0/6] ipa: simple: Introduce metadata reporting

[Milan Zamazal]

Provide metadata reporting for the software ISP. Initially the Black
Levels, ColourGains and Contrast are reported, but also serve as a
direction to add further metadata or internal reporting of the software
ISP.

Running cam -c1 -C10 --metadata now produces the following:

1668.359684 (14.95 fps) cam0-stream0 seq: 000004 bytesused: 15069888
	SensorBlackLevels = [ 4096, 4096, 4096, 4096 ]
        AnalogueGain = 10.240000
        ColourGains = [ 0.001509, 0.001380 ]
        ExposureTime = 2127
	SensorTimestamp = 1668359684000

Changes in v3:
- Don't use dynamic allocation for SimpleFrames entries.
- A tentative patch to add exposure/gain to metadata.

Changes in v2:
- Taken over from Kieran.
- Updated for master.
- Black level is reported as uint16_t, according to the control
  documentation.
- Contrast value is reported in metadata.
- The metadata used to proces the image is reported rather than the
  metadata determined from the image.
- Metadata is reported using a new signal rather than (ab)using
  setIspParams; this change is less or more needed due to changed simple
  IPA structure since v1.
- Frame -> request mapping is introduced to make sure the metadata is
  assigned to the right request.
