Add V4L2_CID_BINNING control for configuting binning and enumerating a
camera sensor's binning capabilities. The control combines horizontal and
vertical binning into a single control as the two are generally related.

New drivers should use this control to configure binning.

I thought the idea was to post-pone this (and the following 2 patches)
to when controls will be able to be tested without changing the device
configuration, to properly support TRY_FORMAT, and before that time
work with selection rectangles and let the drivers select the
"correct" binning/scaling factors deduced from the
TGT_CROP-to-TGT_COMPOSE ratio on (pad, stream) 1/0

As I wrote on the cover letter, some of the patches in the set will likely
be postponed. Most likely this will mean the binning and sub-sampling
control patches. I still wanted to include them so we'd give some view on
how this would look like once we have control values in sub-device state.
