[media] v4l: Add timestamp source flags, mask and document them
Some devices do not produce timestamps that correspond to the end of the frame. The user space should be informed on the matter. This patch achieves that by adding buffer flags (and a mask) for timestamp sources since more possible timestamping points are expected than just two. A three-bit mask is defined (V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TSTAMP_SRC_MASK) and two of the eight possible values is are defined V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TSTAMP_SRC_EOF for end of frame (value zero) V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TSTAMP_SRC_SOE for start of exposure (next value).
