The Raspberry Pi pipeline handler allows all transforms except those
involving a transpose. The user transform is combined with any
inherent rotation of the camera, and the camera's H and V flip bits
are set accordingly.

Note that the validate() method has to work out what the final Bayer
order of any raw streams will be, before configure() actually applies
the transform to the sensor. We make a note of the "native"
(untransformed) Bayer order when the system starts, so that we can
deduce transformed Bayer orders more easily.

I think I recall that the rotation can never be anything other than a
multiple of 90, so this shouldn't happen, but given the return values I
think it's fine to validate it all the same.

Perhaps our rotation control should return an enum of supported values
rather than a freeform integer to convey this. But that's all separate.

I'm still a bit weary of this happening, in case launching a second
camera could affect an existing stream - but now I think about it I
don't think that can happen as the media-device will be locked - so it
can't occur.

Anyway, if it becomes a problem we can revisit it later. I can't see an
alternative yet, (except having the system camera daemon that does all
this once instead of per-launch, which is something we might have to
consider in the future anyway).

Locking the media device is only done in Camera::acquire(). We could
thus in theory have two PipelineHandlerRPi::match() racing each other
from different processes, or a PipelineHandlerRPi::match() call running
with a camera acquired by a different process. There's not much else we
can do though, if this becomes an issue, we will need the kernel to
report the information we need in a way that doesn't require modifying
the configuration of the device.
