media: visl: Add a tpg_verbose parameter

The text written on the output frames stable for a given input.
Remove the unstable elements like pointers, buffer indexes or queues
status so that frames are always identical and can be compared against
a reference in automatic tests.

As the unstable information can be relevant when debugging the API, add
a tpg_verbose parameter to show them.

media: visl: add virtual stateless decoder driver

A virtual stateless device for stateless uAPI development purposes.

This tool's objective is to help the development and testing of
userspace applications that use the V4L2 stateless API to decode media.

A userspace implementation can use visl to run a decoding loop even when
no hardware is available or when the kernel uAPI for the codec has not
been upstreamed yet. This can reveal bugs at an early stage.

This driver can also trace the contents of the V4L2 controls submitted
to it. It can also dump the contents of the vb2 buffers through a
debugfs interface. This is in many ways similar to the tracing
infrastructure available for other popular encode/decode APIs out there
and can help develop a userspace application by using another (working)
one as a reference.

Note that no actual decoding of video frames is performed by visl. The
V4L2 test pattern generator is used to write various debug information
to the capture buffers instead.
