[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.
