The standard controls for exposure and gains allow a
single value, for a single capture. For sensors with HDR
capabilities or context switching, this is not enough, so
add new controls that allow multiple values, one for each
capture.

Add v4l2 helper functions to support backward compatibility
with older user-space applications that are still using the
single-capture exposure and gain controls.
After the addition of multi-capture exposure and gain controls,
the following scenarios are possible:
1. Old applications & old sensor drivers
Both the application and the driver are using single-capture controls,
no problem here.
2. Old applications & new sensor drivers
The application is using single-capture controls and we want the drivers
to implement only the new multi-capture controls. In this case the
driver should use the v4l2_ctrl_new_single_cap_ctrls helper to create
the old single-capture controls, for backward compatibility.
3. New application & old sensor drivers
The new application can query if the driver supports multi-capture
controls, if it doesn't, the application may fallback to single-capture
controls.
4. New application & new sensor drivers
Both the application and the driver are using multi-capture controls,
again, no problem here.

Use the following v4l2 helpers to support backward compatibility
with single-capture controls, such that new drivers that only
implement explicitly the multi-capture control won't have to
worry about keeping them in sync with old single capture controls:
__v4l2_get_multi_ctrl
Used by the v2l2 core in try_or_set_cluster and
__v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup to redirect s_ctrl towards the multi controls
instead of single controls, so that the new sensor drivers do not need
to implement the single-capture controls in s_ctrl.
__v4l2_get_single_ctrl
Used by the v2l2 core in __v4l2_ctrl_modify_range, to modify also the
range of single-capture control when multi-capture control range
changes, so drivers won't have to worry about it.
__v4l2_s_ctrl_multi_to_single
Used by the v2l2 core in __v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl_compound, to transparently
keep the value of single-capture control in sync with the value of the
multi-capture control, so drivers won't have to worry about it. The
__v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl_compound() and __v4l2_ctrl_modify_range() are
usually called during sensor mode change to update the exposure
according to the current mode, the sensor driver only needs to update
the multi-controls, and the v4l2-core will update the single-controls.

Changes in v2:
New patch
We need to choose either this patch (do as much as we can in the v4l2 core
for backward compatibility for old userspace apps using single-capture controls)
or patch #5 (let the new drivers still implement s_ctrl for single-capture controls,
but using the helpers, also driver needs to take care to keep ranges and values
in sync)

Helper function to be used in new sensor drivers to implement s_ctrl
for single controls for backward compatibility.
This function finds the corresponding multi-capture control for a given
single-capture control, and updates only the value corresponding to the
first capture with the same value as the single-capture control value.
