libipa defines an abstract Algorithm class template that is specialized
by IPA modules. IPA modules then instantiate and manage algorithms
internally, without help from libipa. With ongoing work on tuning data
support for the RkISP1, and future similar work for the IPU3, more code
duplication for algorithms management is expected.
To address this and share code between multiple IPA modules, introduce a
new Module class template that will define and manage top-level concepts
for the IPA module.
The Module class template needs to be specialized with the same types as
the Algorithm class. To avoid manual specialization of both classes,
store the types in the Module class, and replace the template arguments
of the Algorithm class with a single Module argument from which the
other types are retrieved.

Instead of having one frame context constantly being updated,
this patch aims to introduce per-frame IPAFrameContext which
are stored in a ring buffer. Whenever a request is queued, a new
IPAFrameContext is created and inserted into the ring buffer.
The IPAFrameContext structure itself has been slightly extended
to store a frame id and a ControlList for incoming frame
controls (sent in by the application). The next step would be to
read and set these controls whenever the request is actually queued
to the hardware.
Since now we are working in multiples of IPAFrameContext, the
Algorithm::process() will actually take in a IPAFrameContext pointer
(as opposed to a nullptr while preparing for this change).

Currently, IPAFrameContext consolidates the values computed by the
active state of the algorithms, along with the values applied on
the sensor.
Moving ahead, we want to have a frame context associated with each
incoming request (or frame to be captured). This shouldn't necessarily
be tied to "active state" of the algorithms hence:
- Rename current IPAFrameContext -> IPAActiveState
This will now reflect the latest active state of the algorithms and
has nothing to do with any frame-related ops/values.
- Re-instate IPAFrameContext with a sub-structure 'sensor' currently
storing the exposure and gain value.
Adapt the various access to the frame context to the new changes
as described above.
Subsequently, the re-instated IPAFrameContext will be extended to
contain a frame number and ControlList to remember the incoming
request controls provided by the application. A ring-buffer will
be introduced to store these frame contexts for a certain number
of frames.
