media: v4l2-ctrls: Add encoder constant quality control
When V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE value is V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CQ, encoder will produce constant quality output indicated by V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CONSTANT_QUALITY control value. Encoder will choose appropriate quantization parameter and bitrate to produce requested frame quality level.
