ipa: ipu3: agc: Compute the gain for each frame

Now that we have the real exposure applied at each frame, remove the
early return based on a frame counter and compute the gain for each
frame.

Introduce a number of startup frames during which the filter speed is
1.0, meaning we apply instantly the exposure value calculated and not a
slower filtered one. This is used to have a faster convergence, and
those frames may be dropped in a future development to hide the
convergance process from the viewer.
