This add support for selecting the sensor mode. A new read-only
property called sensor-modes is filled when the element reaches
READY state. It contains the list of all available sensor modes,
including the supported framerate range. This is exposed as GstCaps
in the form of sensor/mode,width=X,height=Y,format=Y,framerate=[...].
The format string matches the libcamera format string representation.
The application can then select a mode using the read/write sensor-mode
control. The selected mode is also a caps, it will be intersected with
the supported mode and the "best" match will be picked. This allows
application to use simple filter when they want to pick a mode for lets
say a specific framerate (e.g. sensor/mode,framerate=60/1).

<p>I gave this a short try on both my USB camera and on a PPP. In
both cases enumeration gets skipped (as intended), but in the
later case the following warning gets printed:<br>
</p>
<p>> ERROR RkISP1 rkisp1.cpp:684 Can't capture both raw and
processed streams<br>
</p>
So I wonder if we can come a better check here.<br>
<p>When allowing the enumeration by only selecting Raw or
VideoRecording I made the following observations:</p>
<ol>
<li>enumeration on the USB camera is very slow, takes several
seconds</li>
<li>on the PPP / RkISP1, even though there are many more modes,
the enumeration is super fast - probably a fraction of a second.
So a method like this could probably be used for framerate
enumeration.<br>
</li>
<li>the mode selection via sensor-mode=sensor/mode,... usually
fails though (haven't digged deeper why yet)<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Regards,</p>
