[PATCH] v4l: add V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE

Some drivers also need a control like
V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE to force an encoder frame
type. This patch adds a general V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE.

This control only affects the next queued buffer. There's no need to
clear the value after requesting an I frame. But all controls are set
in v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup. So a default DISABLED value is required.
Basically this control is like V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_BUTTON with parameters.
How to prevent a control from being set in v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup so
DISABLED value is not needed? Does it make sense not to set a control
if it is EXECUTE_ON_WRITE?
