[media] v4l2-ctrl: Add helper function for the controls range update
This patch adds a helper function that allows to modify range,
i.e. minimum, maximum, step and default value of a v4l2 control,
after the control has been created and initialized. This is helpful
in situations when range of a control depends on user configurable
parameters, e.g. camera sensor absolute exposure time depending on
an output image resolution and frame rate.
v4l2_ctrl_modify_range() function allows to modify range of an
INTEGER, BOOL, MENU, INTEGER_MENU and BITMASK type controls.
Based on a patch from Hans Verkuil http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/8654.
