Specify in the documentation that properties::Rotation specifies the
mounting rotation of the camera module. This avoids confusion with the
image orientation which is instead expressed by
CameraConfiguration::orientation.

For this reason, do not compensate the Rotation property when
initializing the CameraSensor class but report the value of
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION or 0 if the control is not available.
