13. Improve black level and colour gains application
I think the black level should eventually be moved before debayering, and
Use the standard libcamera mechanism to report the "current" controls rather than delaying updates by counting from the last update. MY SPECULATION -- valid or not?: A problem is that with software ISP we cannot be sure about the sensor delay. The original implementation simply skips exposure updates for 2 frames, which should be enough in most cases. After this change, we assume the delay being exactly 2 frames, which may or may not be correct and may work with outdated values if the delay is shorter. This patch also prepares moving exposure+gain to an algorithm module where the original delay mechanism would be a (possibly unnecessary) complication. Resolves software ISP TODO #11 + #12.
