[media] v4l: ctrls: Add a control for digital gain
Add V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN to control explicitly digital gain. We already have analogue gain control which the digital gain control complements. Typically higher quality images are obtained using analogue gain only as the digital gain does not add information to the image (rather it may remove it).

+``V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN (integer)``
+ Digital gain is the value by which all colour components
+ are multiplied by. Typically the digital gain applied is the
+ control value divided by e.g. 0x100, meaning that to get no
+ digital gain the control value needs to be 0x100. The no-gain
+ configuration is also typically the default.
