[media] v4l: Add new alpha component control

The V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT control is intended for the video capture
or memory-to-memory devices that are capable of setting up the per-pixel
alpha component to some arbitrary value. It allows to set the alpha
component for all pixels to an arbitrary value.

<entry> Sets the alpha color component on the capture device or on
the capture buffer queue of a mem-to-mem device. When a mem-to-mem
device produces frame format that includes an alpha component
(e.g. <link linkend="rgb-formats">packed RGB image formats</link>)
and the alpha value is not defined by the mem-to-mem input data
this control lets you select the alpha component value of all
pixels. It is applicable to any pixel format that contains an alpha
component.
