While V4L2 doesn't specify a unit for the `EXPOSURE` control, libcamera requires
it to be expressed as a number of image lines. Camera sensor drivers that do not
comply with this requirement will need to be adapted or will produce incorrect
results.

Add the V4L2_CID_VBLANK control to the list of mandatory controls the sensor driver has to report and document the new requirement. The vertical blanking control is used to calculate the frame duration.
