Define the CameraStream::Type enumeration and assign it to
each CameraStream instance at construction time.

The CameraStream type will be used to decide if memory needs to be
allocated on its behalf or if the stream is backed by memory externally
allocated by the Android framework.

Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

Maybe we should expand the initials/acronyms somewhere?

A: Android
B: Android Buffer
L: libcamera
FB: libcamera FrameBuffer ?

(Assuming my assumptions are correct :-D )

In fact, reading down - FB is actually an FB wrapping B.

Maybe we could express that 'wrapping' in ascii art - but I expect it
might be painful too - so don't worry about it.

Aha - here it is.

I wonder if this should be first so we see the definitions before
they're used.

But it's not far to follow down, so it's kind of footnotes - so I don't
object to keeping this here.

You've already got my tag - and you can keep it of course ;-)

+	 * Data for the Android stream is produced by processing a libcamera
+	 * stream created by the HAL for that purpose. The libcamera stream
+	 * needs to be supplied with intermediate buffers where the library
+	 * delivers frames to be processed and then provided to the framework.
+	 * The libcamera stream configuration is not a direct translation of the
+	 * Android stream characteristics, but it describes the format and size
+	 * required for the processing procedure to produce frames in the
+	 * Android required format.
