The V4L2Device class uses V4L2ControlList as a controls container for
the getControls() and setControls() operations. Having a distinct
container from ControlList will makes the IPA API more complex, as it
needs to explicitly transport both types of lists. This will become even
more painful when implementing serialisation and deserialisation.

To simplify the IPA API and ease the implementation of serialisation and
deserialisation, replace usage of V4L2ControlList with ControlList in
the V4L2Device (and thus CameraSensor) API. The V4L2ControlList class
becomes a thin wrapper around ControlList that slightly simplifies the
creation of control lists for V4L2 controls, and may be removed in the
future.

Changes since v1:

- Fix typo in comment
- Use the v4l2_ext_control::value field instead of value64 where
  appropriate
- Break loop in updateControls() when reaching count
- Rename controls_ to info_ (and related variables)
- Add reference to V4L2Device::[gs]etControls() to V4L2ControlList class
  documentation
- Update the rkisp1 IPA
- Add V4L2ControlInfoMap class
- Remove ID-based accessors from V4L2ControlList as they are now present
  in the base ControlList class
- Don't include v4l2_controls.h in camera_sensor.h

With the v1 comments fixed, this seems all good now

- * In order to set and get controls, user of the libcamera V4L2 control
- * framework should operate on instances of the V4L2ControlList class, and use
- * them as argument for the V4L2Device::setControls() and
- * V4L2Device::getControls() operations, which write and read a list of
- * controls to or from a V4L2 device (a video device or a subdevice).
- *
- * Controls are added to a V4L2ControlList instance with the add() method, with
- * or without a value.
- *
- * To write controls to a device, the controls of interest shall be added with
- * an initial value by calling V4L2ControlList::add(unsigned int id, int64_t
- * value) to prepare for a write operation. Once the values of all controls of
- * interest have been added, the V4L2ControlList instance is passed to the
- * V4L2Device::setControls(), which sets the controls on the device.
- *
- * To read controls from a device, the desired controls are added with
- * V4L2ControlList::add(unsigned int id) to prepare for a read operation. The
- * V4L2ControlList instance is then passed to V4L2Device::getControls(), which
- * reads the controls from the device and updates the values stored in
- * V4L2ControlList.
- *
- * V4L2ControlList instances can be reset to remove all controls they contain
- * and prepare to be re-used for a new control write/read sequence.
