Add to the ControlId class a 'required' boolean flag that determine
if the control (or property) is mandatory to be supported by a Camera
in order to comply with the libcamera API specification.

Add support for a 'required' field to the controls and properties yaml
file definition and control generation scripts.

Also plumb support for the flag in the control serializer component
to allow pass the information across IPC borders.
