camera_sensor_legacy assumes camera sensors support bayer formats, and
requires mandatory controls. This means other camera sensors which do
not have those controls cannot be used with libcamera.

Create a new type of camera_sensor that has no mandatory control
requirements other than HBLANK and VBLANK.
