[media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace frame interval API
The three new ioctl VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL,
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL and VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL can be
used to enumerate and configure a subdev's frame rate from userspace.
Two new video::g/s_frame_interval subdev operations are introduced to
support those ioctls. The existing video::g/s_parm operations are
deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.
